    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An AMD-powered virtual machine featuring a high memory-to-vCPU ratio and local SSD storage for memory-intensive enterprise workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure E20ads_v5 is an x86_64 memory-optimized virtual machine powered by a dedicated AMD EPYC 7763 processor running at 3.525 GHz on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. It features 20 vCPUs across 10 physical cores, 160.0 GB of RAM, and a bundled 768 GB local SSD. Benchmark data shows strong single-core CPU performance and strong text generation speeds for small language models, while multi-core CPU, memory bandwidth, and database operations perform in the average tier. Conversely, prompt processing for large 70B language models is poor, representing a clear performance tradeoff. With its high memory-to-vCPU ratio of 8.0 GB per core and Premium Storage capability, this instance is suited for memory-intensive workloads, database operations, caching layers, and general-purpose enterprise applications requiring substantial memory capacity without GPU acceleration.

    Workload Profiles

    0.9Score
    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.
