    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An entry-level memory-optimized virtual machine offering high memory density for lightweight database caching and low-compute workloads.

    Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

    Microsoft Azure E2s_v3 is an x86_64 memory-optimized virtual machine from the ESv3 family, running on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. It is configured with 2 vCPUs from a single physical Intel Xeon 8272CL core clocked at 2.6 GHz, 16.0 GB of RAM, and 33 GB of local storage with Premium Storage support. The instance features a high memory-to-vCPU ratio of 8.0 GB per vCPU, making it qualitatively cost-efficient for memory-dependent workloads with low CPU requirements. However, benchmark data reveals significant performance tradeoffs, with both single-core and multi-core CPU performance, as well as memory bandwidth, ranking in the bottom 10% to 25% of tested servers. Consequently, the E2s_v3 is best suited for light database operations, caching, and basic web serving rather than computationally intensive applications.

    Workload Profiles

    0.136Score
    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.
