      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A memory-optimized virtual machine featuring a high memory-to-core ratio for memory-intensive workloads requiring minimal parallel compute capacity.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Microsoft Azure E4-2s_v6 is an x86_64 memory-optimized virtual machine from the Esv6 family. It features 2 dedicated vCPUs powered by a single physical Intel Xeon 8573C core running at 4.2 GHz, paired with 32.0 GB of RAM. This configuration provides a high memory-to-core ratio of 16.0 GB per core. The server lacks local storage and integrated GPUs, relying on external Premium Storage. Performance benchmarks reveal a strong single-core Geekbench score of 2146.0, though multi-core and memory bandwidth metrics are weak to poor due to the limited 2-vCPU allocation. This server is suited for memory-intensive, low-compute workloads such as small database operations, caching, and basic text processing, offering a qualitative advantage in memory density without the cost of unneeded CPU cores.

      Workload Profiles

      0.28Score
      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.
