CPU and System Topology

Server Description

An Intel-powered memory-optimized virtual machine featuring high memory density and advanced matrix extensions for demanding enterprise and database workloads.

Memory Optimized

The Microsoft Azure E20s_v6 is an x86_64 memory-optimized virtual machine from the Esv6 family, configured with 20 vCPUs and 160.0 GB of RAM. Powered by a dedicated Intel Xeon 8573C processor running at 4.2 GHz, it features 10 physical cores and a 260 MB L3 cache. The instance supports advanced instruction sets like AVX-512 and Intel AMX. Benchmarks indicate strong single-core performance, particularly in gzip compression and small-model LLM text generation, while multi-core and memory bandwidth metrics remain average. Tradeoffs include the absence of local storage and dedicated GPUs, necessitating remote Premium Storage. This server is qualitatively cost-efficient for memory-heavy workloads, making it well-suited for database operations, in-memory caching, and enterprise applications.

Workload Profiles

1.8Score

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.
