    Server Description

    An ARM-powered, memory-optimized server featuring high-speed local NVMe storage and exceptional memory bandwidth for database and caching workloads.

    Microsoft Azure E48pds_v6 is an ARM-based, memory-optimized virtual machine featuring 48 dedicated Microsoft Neoverse-N2 cores operating at 3.4 GHz. Equipped with 384 GB of RAM and a bundled 2835 GB local NVMe SSD, this instance delivers a high memory-to-vCPU ratio of 8 GB per core. Benchmark results highlight top-tier memory bandwidth, with large-block read speeds reaching 463.82 GB/sec, alongside strong multi-core capabilities, including a Geekbench multi-core score of 21816.0 and exceptional Passmark database operations performance. While single-core execution and large-scale LLM prompt processing represent relative performance tradeoffs, the server offers excellent resource density and qualitative cost efficiency for memory-intensive applications. It is highly suited for database hosting, high-throughput Redis deployments, and memory-bound enterprise workloads.

    Workload Profiles

    3.4Score
    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.
