    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A memory-optimized virtual server featuring high RAM density, dedicated Intel Xeon processors, and fast local SSD storage for demanding database workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure E20d_v5 is a memory-optimized server from the EDv5 family, featuring 20 dedicated vCPUs and 160.0 GB of RAM, yielding an 8.0 GB per core ratio. Powered by an Intel Xeon 8370C processor at 2.8 GHz, it includes 768 GB of local SSD storage and runs on Microsoft Hyper-V. Performance benchmarks indicate average CPU capabilities, with a Passmark CPU score of 25547.1, but strong memory performance, highlighted by a Passmark memory score of 2801.06. While the instance is not suited for heavy AI workloads, as shown by poor large-scale LLM inference speeds, its high memory density and local SSD storage offer excellent qualitative cost efficiency for memory-heavy applications. It is highly suitable for relational databases, caching systems, and memory-intensive enterprise workloads.

    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.
