    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An ARM-powered virtual machine delivering high memory density and top-tier memory bandwidth for data-intensive enterprise workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & DatabaseGeneral Purpose

    Microsoft Azure E16ps_v6 is an ARM-based virtual machine from the Epsv6 family, featuring 16 dedicated physical cores on a 3.4 GHz Microsoft Neoverse-N2 processor. It is configured with 128.0 GB of RAM, providing a high 8.0 GB per vCPU ratio, but contains no bundled local storage or GPU hardware. Benchmark results highlight top-tier memory performance, with a Passmark memory score in the top 10% and uncached large-block read bandwidth reaching 308.13 GB/sec. While single-core and multi-core CPU benchmarks sit in the average tier, the instance excels in memory-bound operations, making it a qualitatively cost-efficient choice for memory-intensive workloads. It is highly suited for database hosting, caching layers, and enterprise applications requiring high memory density without the need for local storage.

    Workload Profiles

    1.53Score
    Precomputed compound score for Cache Intensive workloads. A weighted average (geometric mean) of benchmark scores compared to their medians: score = ∏ (x_i / m_i)^(w_i / Σw). The score of 1.0 represents a synthetic baseline server with the median performance of each component benchmark; 0.5 means roughly half the performance; and 2.0 means twice the performance of that reference profile. Component weights: 50% Redis RPS (pipeline=1, SET), 20% Redis RPS (pipeline=16, SET), 10% PassMark Memory Mark (composite), 10% Memory bandwidth (read, 16 MB ~ L3), 10% PassMark single-thread CPU. Rationale for component selection: In-memory key-value store workload, mixing direct Redis performance metrics with memory speed and latency benchmarks, and single-core CPU performance profiles.
