      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A compact memory-optimized instance offering a high RAM-to-vCPU ratio and strong single-core performance for lightweight memory-bound workloads.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Microsoft Azure E2s_v6 is a memory-optimized virtual machine instance powered by a dedicated Intel Xeon 8573C processor running at 4.2 GHz on the x86_64 architecture. Configured with 2 vCPUs across 1 physical core, it offers 16.0 GB of RAM, resulting in an 8.0 GB per vCPU ratio, backed by 260 MB of L3 cache and hardware support for AVX-512 and AMX instructions. The instance contains no integrated local storage or dedicated GPUs, relying on remote storage options. In performance evaluations, the instance demonstrates high single-core benchmark metrics, including strong single-thread Geekbench performance and solid single-thread compression speeds. Conversely, multi-threaded throughput and uncached memory bandwidth show performance constraints standard for single-core execution models. The E2s_v6 offers efficient resource density for low-concurrency, memory-heavy workloads such as lightweight in-memory databases, single-threaded data transformation tasks, and basic background caching services.

      Workload Profiles

      0.27Score
      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.
