    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An ARM-powered virtual machine featuring a high memory-to-core ratio and local NVMe storage for memory-intensive database and caching workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & DatabaseGeneral Purpose

    Microsoft Azure E4pds_v6 is an ARM-based virtual machine from the Epdsv6 family, featuring 4 dedicated physical cores on a 3.4 GHz Microsoft Neoverse-N2 processor. It is configured with 32.0 GB of RAM, providing a high 8.0 GB per core ratio, and includes a 236 GB local NVMe SSD. Benchmark results highlight an exceptional Passmark memory score in the top 10% and strong single-threaded gzip compression. Conversely, the instance exhibits weak performance in cryptographic tasks, ray tracing, and LLM inference. This server is qualitatively cost-efficient for memory-intensive workloads, database operations, and Redis caching layers that benefit from dedicated ARM cores and local NVMe storage, though it is less suitable for instruction-heavy vector or encryption tasks.

    Workload Profiles

    0.54Score
    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.
