    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A memory-optimized virtual server featuring high memory density per core and strong single-threaded performance for memory-bound workloads.

    Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

    Microsoft Azure E4-2s_v6 is an x86_64 memory-optimized server from the Esv6 family, powered by a dedicated Intel Xeon 8573C processor running at 4.2 GHz on Microsoft Hyper-V. It features 2 vCPUs (1 physical core, 2 threads) and 32.0 GB of RAM, providing a high resource density of 16.0 GB per core. The server lacks local storage and GPUs. Performance benchmarks show strong single-core execution, such as in single-threaded gzip compression, but multi-core and memory bandwidth metrics are weak to poor due to the single-core physical constraint. This hardware profile offers qualitative cost efficiency for memory-intensive workloads with low parallel processing demands, making it suitable for small-scale database operations, caching, and single-threaded data processing tasks.

    Workload Profiles

    0.281Score
    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.
