      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A memory-optimized virtual machine featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processing and a high memory-to-core ratio for lightweight database and caching workloads.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Microsoft Azure E2s_v6 is a memory-optimized virtual machine from the Esv6 family, powered by an Intel Xeon 8573C processor running on Microsoft Hyper-V. It features 2 dedicated vCPUs (1 physical core, 2 threads) clocked at 4.2 GHz, 16.0 GB of RAM, and no local storage. While single-core performance is strong in Geekbench tests, its multi-core capabilities and memory bandwidth are relatively weak due to the single physical core constraint. This instance is best suited for memory-intensive, single-threaded workloads, lightweight caching, and small databases.

      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.
