      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A memory-optimized dual-core virtual machine offering a high memory-to-vCPU ratio for lightweight, memory-bound enterprise workloads.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Microsoft Azure E2_v5 is a memory-optimized virtual machine from the Ev5 family, featuring 2 dedicated vCPUs and 16.0 GB of RAM. Powered by an Intel Xeon 8370C processor running at 2.8 GHz on the x86_64 architecture, it provides a high memory-to-vCPU ratio of 8.0 GB per core. The instance does not include local storage or GPU accelerators. Benchmark results show average single-core performance in stress-ng and Geekbench, but poor multi-core scaling and memory bandwidth. It is equipped with advanced instruction sets like AVX-512 and AES cryptography acceleration. This server is qualitatively cost-effective for memory-intensive workloads with low parallel processing demands, making it suitable for small databases, caching layers, and lightweight web serving.

      Workload Profiles

      0.21Score
      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.
