      Server Description

      A memory-optimized virtual machine featuring a high memory-to-core ratio for memory-bound workloads without demanding intense compute.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      The Microsoft Azure E4_v4 is a memory-optimized virtual machine from the Ev4 family, powered by an Intel Xeon 8272CL x86_64 processor running at 2.6 GHz. It features 4 dedicated vCPUs and 32.0 GB of RAM, providing a high memory-to-vCPU ratio of 8.0 GB per core. The processor includes a 35 MB L3 cache and supports AVX-512 instructions. This instance does not include local storage or integrated GPUs. Benchmark results show average performance in memory-bound tasks and text processing, but weaker performance in raw CPU compute and multi-threaded decompression. Qualitatively, the E4_v4 is a cost-effective option for memory-heavy workloads that do not require intense CPU performance, making it suitable for database hosting, caching layers, and general memory-intensive applications.

      Workload Profiles

      0.26Score
      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.
