      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A memory-optimized virtual machine featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors and high memory density for demanding database and enterprise workloads.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Microsoft Azure E16s_v6 is a memory-optimized virtual machine from the Esv6 family, powered by the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. It features 16 dedicated vCPUs from 8 physical Intel Xeon 8573C cores running at 4.2 GHz, paired with 128.0 GB of RAM, establishing an 8.0 GB per vCPU ratio. While it lacks local storage and GPUs, it is Premium Storage capable. Performance benchmarks show strong single-core capabilities, highlighted by a Geekbench single-core score of 2096.0 and top-tier text generation speeds of 366.52 tokens per second for small LLM models. Multi-core and memory bandwidth metrics remain consistently in the average range. With advanced CPU flags like Intel AMX and AVX-512, this server is qualitatively cost-efficient for memory-heavy operations. It is well-suited for database hosting, in-memory caching, enterprise applications, and text processing workloads.

      Workload Profiles

      1.4Score
      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.
