    Server Description

    A memory-optimized virtual machine featuring forty-eight dedicated vCPUs and substantial local SSD storage for parallelized database workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & DatabaseGeneral Purpose

    Microsoft Azure E48_v3 is a memory-optimized virtual machine from the Ev3 family, powered by an Intel Xeon E5-2673 v4 processor with 48 dedicated vCPUs and 24 physical cores. Operating at 2.3 GHz on the x86_64 architecture, it features 384.0 GB of RAM and a bundled 1229 GB local SSD. While single-core benchmarks, such as stress-ng and Geekbench single-core, rank in the lower percentiles, its multi-core performance and memory bandwidth consistently achieve average tier results. The server offers a high memory-to-vCPU ratio of 8.0 GB per core, making it a qualitatively cost-effective option for memory-dense workloads that do not require extreme single-threaded speed. It is appropriate for database operations, in-memory caching like Redis, and parallelized data processing tasks.

    Workload Profiles

    1.3Score
    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.
