CPU and System Topology
Server Description
A memory-optimized virtual machine featuring dedicated AMD EPYC processing and high memory density for memory-bound workloads.
Microsoft Azure E4as_v6 is an x86_64 virtual machine from the Eav6 family, featuring a dedicated AMD EPYC 9V74 processor running at 3.7 GHz with 2 physical cores and 4 vCPUs. It provides 32.0 GB of RAM, establishing a memory-optimized 1:8 vCPU-to-RAM ratio. The instance lacks local storage and GPUs but supports Premium Storage. Performance benchmarks indicate strong single-core capabilities, with stress-ng and Geekbench single-core scores in the top 25%. Conversely, multi-core performance and memory read bandwidth are weaker, placing in the average and bottom 25% respectively. Database operations and software compilation also show lower relative performance. Qualitatively, the E4as_v6 offers high memory density per vCPU, making it suitable for memory-intensive workloads, caching, and text processing that do not demand intensive multi-threaded compute or high-speed local storage.
