CPU and System Topology
Server Description
A memory-optimized virtual machine featuring a high memory-to-core ratio and strong single-core performance for low-compute, memory-heavy workloads.
Microsoft Azure E4-2as_v5 is a memory-optimized virtual machine from the EASv5 family, powered by a dedicated AMD EPYC 7763 processor running at 3.525 GHz. Built on the x86_64 architecture under the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor, this instance provides 2 vCPUs from 1 physical core and 32.0 GB of RAM, offering a high memory-to-core ratio of 16.0 GB. It contains no local storage or GPU resources. Performance benchmarks show strong single-core CPU capabilities, but weak multi-core execution and poor memory bandwidth. This resource profile makes the instance qualitatively cost-efficient for memory-heavy, low-compute tasks. It is best suited for workloads such as memory-caching, text processing, and lightweight database operations that require a larger memory footprint without demanding high parallel processing power.
