      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A network-optimized, dual-vCPU instance featuring a high memory-to-core ratio and dedicated Intel Xeon processing for memory-sensitive workloads.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      The Microsoft Azure E2ns_v6 is a network-optimized, x86_64 server instance powered by a dedicated Intel Xeon 8573C processor running at 4.2 GHz. It provides 2 vCPUs from a single physical core and is equipped with 16.0 GB of memory, establishing an 8.0 GB per core ratio. The instance lacks local storage but is Premium Storage capable, and it contains no GPUs. Benchmark data indicates average single-core CPU performance and single-threaded compression speeds, contrasted by poor multi-core performance and weak memory bandwidth. Passmark database and memory scores are weak, and Redis SET operations are poor. Qualitatively, this instance offers a high memory-to-vCPU ratio for entry-level deployments. It is best suited for memory-sensitive, single-threaded workloads, lightweight database tasks, and network-oriented services that do not demand high multi-core compute density.

      Workload Profiles

      0.22Score
      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.
