    Server Description

    An x86_64 memory-optimized virtual machine featuring high memory density and bundled local storage for database and caching workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & DatabaseGeneral Purpose

    Microsoft Azure E20_v3 is an x86_64 memory-optimized virtual machine from the Ev3 family, powered by an Intel Xeon E5-2673 v4 processor running at 2.3 GHz. It features 20 dedicated vCPUs across 10 physical cores, 160.0 GB of RAM, and a bundled 512 GB local storage volume. Benchmark results indicate a distinct performance tradeoff: single-core metrics, such as Geekbench and stress-ng single-core scores, fall into the bottom 10% tier, whereas multi-core benchmarks, including PassMark CPU and Geekbench multi-core, reach average levels. Memory read bandwidth is average, though large-block write bandwidth is weak. With 8.0 GB of RAM per vCPU, this instance is suited for memory-intensive workloads like database operations, Redis caching, and software compilation where high memory capacity is prioritized over single-threaded processing speed.
