      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A memory-optimized virtual machine offering high RAM-to-vCPU density for lightweight, memory-bound enterprise applications and database caching.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Microsoft Azure E2s_v4 is a memory-optimized virtual machine from the ESv4 family, featuring 2 dedicated vCPUs and 16.0 GB of RAM. Powered by an Intel Xeon 8272CL processor running at 2.6 GHz, this x86_64 instance provides a high memory-to-core ratio of 8.0 GB per vCPU. It does not include local storage or GPUs but supports Premium Storage. Performance benchmarks place the instance in the lower tiers for compute-heavy tasks, with a stress-ng single-core score of 1405.58 and a multi-core score of 1844.46. Memory bandwidth is also modest, reaching 14.18 GB/sec for large uncached reads. Given its high memory density relative to its processing power, the E2s_v4 is best suited for lightweight, memory-intensive workloads such as small databases, caching layers, and basic enterprise applications that require a larger memory footprint without demanding high CPU performance.

      Workload Profiles

      0.16Score
      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.
