    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A memory-optimized virtual server featuring a high RAM-to-vCPU ratio and local storage for database and caching workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    The Microsoft Azure E32-16s_v3 is an ESv3-family virtual machine powered by an Intel Xeon 8272CL processor with 16 dedicated vCPUs and 256.0 GB of RAM. Operating on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor, this x86_64 server provides a high memory-to-vCPU ratio of 16.0 GB per core, alongside 524 GB of local storage and Premium Storage support. Benchmark results indicate weak single-core performance, but multi-core and memory bandwidth metrics remain in the average tier, with a multi-core Geekbench score of 6785.0 and Redis SET performance reaching 12.39 million operations per second. The server represents a cost-efficient choice for memory-bound workloads where RAM capacity is prioritized over raw CPU speed. It is highly suited for database hosting, in-memory caching, and enterprise applications.

    Workload Profiles

    0.694Score
    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.
