      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A high-density memory-optimized instance featuring forty-eight dedicated Intel vCPUs and three hundred eighty-four gigabytes of RAM for enterprise workloads.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Microsoft Azure E48_v5 is a memory-optimized virtual machine from the Ev5 family, powered by an Intel Xeon 8370C processor running on Microsoft Hyper-V. It features 48 dedicated vCPUs across 24 physical cores, operating at 2.8 GHz, paired with 384.0 GB of RAM. This configuration yields a high memory-to-vCPU ratio of 8.0 GB per core. The instance lacks local storage and GPU accelerators. Performance benchmarks show strong capabilities in memory bandwidth, with uncached large-block reads at 252.4 GB/sec and writes at 126.65 GB/sec, alongside strong static web serving throughput of 45.58 GB/sec. General compute, database operations, and smaller LLM inference tasks perform in the average tier, while large 70B LLM text generation is weak. This instance is well-suited for memory-intensive enterprise applications, in-memory databases, and caching layers that utilize remote storage.

      Workload Profiles

      2.5Score
      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.
