    Server Description

    A memory-optimized virtual machine featuring a 1:8 vCPU-to-RAM ratio and Intel Xeon processors for memory-intensive enterprise workloads.

    Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

    The Microsoft Azure E32_v4 is an Ev4-family virtual machine featuring 32 vCPUs and 256.0 GB of RAM, establishing a high-density 1:8 memory-to-vCPU ratio. Powered by an Intel Xeon 8272CL processor running at 2.6 GHz across 16 physical cores, it supports AVX-512 and AVX512_VNNI instructions. This instance lacks local storage and dedicated GPUs, relying entirely on network-attached storage. Performance benchmarks place the E32_v4 in the average tier for most compute and memory operations, though it achieves a strong Passmark memory score. Single-threaded compression tasks represent a performance bottleneck, showing weak results in gzip and bzip3 tests. Given its high memory capacity and average database operations performance, the E32_v4 is suited for memory-intensive workloads, including relational databases, in-memory caching, and enterprise applications that do not require local NVMe storage.

    Workload Profiles

    1.29Score
    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.
