    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A memory-dense virtual server featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processing and advanced matrix extensions for memory-bound enterprise workloads.

    Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

    Microsoft Azure E32-16s_v6 is an x86_64 memory-optimized virtual machine from the Esv6 family, operating on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. It is equipped with an Intel Xeon 8573C processor running at 4.2 GHz, providing 16 dedicated vCPUs across 8 physical cores, and 256.0 GB of RAM. This configuration yields a high memory-to-core ratio of 16.0 GB per core. The server lacks local storage and GPUs but supports Premium Storage. Benchmarks show strong single-core performance, with a Geekbench single-core score of 2000.0 and top-tier text generation speeds of 373.33 tokens/sec for small LLMs. However, uncached memory bandwidth is a relative bottleneck, reflected in a weak PassMark memory score. This server is suited for memory-intensive applications, in-memory databases, text processing, and software compilation.

    Workload Profiles

    1.44Score
    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.
