      Server Description

      An Intel-powered, memory-optimized virtual machine with 128 GB RAM and 16 dedicated vCPUs for memory-intensive enterprise workloads.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Microsoft Azure E16s_v5 is an ESv5 family virtual machine featuring 16 dedicated vCPUs and 128.0 GB of RAM, powered by an Intel Xeon 8370C processor at 2.8 GHz. Built on the x86_64 architecture with 8 physical cores and hyper-threading, it includes a 48 MB L3 cache and supports AVX-512 instructions. This server does not bundle local storage or GPUs, relying instead on remote Premium Storage. Benchmarks show average performance across most tests, including a Geekbench multi-core score of 10035.0 and a Passmark CPU score of 21180.44, alongside a strong text generation speed of 295.71 tokens/sec for small language models. With a memory-to-vCPU ratio of 8 GB per core, this instance is designed for memory-intensive workloads such as database operations, caching layers, and enterprise applications.

      Workload Profiles

      1.1Score
      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.
