      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A memory-optimized virtual machine featuring high-frequency Intel Xeon processors and dense memory allocation for demanding database and enterprise workloads.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Microsoft Azure E16s_v7 is an x86_64 memory-optimized virtual machine powered by an 8-core Intel Xeon 6973P-C processor operating at 4.2 GHz. It delivers 16 dedicated vCPUs and 128 GB of RAM, establishing a high memory-to-core ratio of 8 GB per vCPU. The architecture features a 480 MB L3 cache and supports Intel AMX and AVX-512 instructions. While it lacks local storage and GPUs, it is Premium Storage capable. Benchmarks indicate average multi-core CPU performance alongside strong single-threaded gzip compression and small-model LLM text generation. The instance is optimized for memory-intensive workloads such as databases, in-memory caches, and enterprise applications requiring high memory density without excessive compute overhead.

      Workload Profiles

      1.3Score
      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.
