    Server Description

    A memory-dense virtual server featuring dedicated Intel processors and local SSD storage for memory-intensive database and caching workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & DatabaseGeneral Purpose

    The Microsoft Azure E20s_v3 is an x86_64 memory-optimized virtual machine from the ESv3 family, powered by a 2.6 GHz Intel Xeon 8272CL processor. It features 20 dedicated vCPUs (10 physical cores), 160.0 GB of RAM, and a 328 GB local SSD. While single-core benchmarks for this instance are positioned in the lower tier, its multi-core performance, memory bandwidth, and database operations consistently achieve average tier results. With an 8.0 GB RAM-per-vCPU ratio and Premium Storage capability, the E20s_v3 provides a balanced, memory-dense hardware profile. It is best suited for memory-intensive workloads, including database management systems, Redis caching layers, and multi-threaded enterprise applications.

    Workload Profiles

    0.79Score
    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.
