    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A memory-optimized virtual machine featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors and high memory density for database and caching workloads.

    Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

    The Microsoft Azure E20s_v7 is a memory-optimized virtual machine from the Esv7 family, powered by an Intel Xeon 6973P-C processor running at 4.2 GHz. It features 20 dedicated vCPUs and 160.0 GB of RAM, yielding an 8.0 GB per vCPU ratio. While it lacks local storage and GPUs, it is Premium Storage capable. Performance benchmarks show average multi-core capabilities alongside strong single-threaded compression speeds, such as 35.43 GB/sec in gzip. It also delivers top-tier text generation speeds of 364.6 tokens/sec for small LLM models. Lacking local storage, it relies on external storage, making it a cost-efficient choice for memory-intensive workloads like databases, in-memory caching, and enterprise applications that do not require local scratch disks.

    Workload Profiles

    1.77Score
    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.
