    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An ARM-powered, memory-optimized instance featuring dedicated physical cores and high-density RAM for efficient database and caching workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & DatabaseGeneral Purpose

    Microsoft Azure E4pds_v6 is an ARM64-based, memory-optimized virtual machine featuring 4 dedicated physical cores on a 3.4 GHz Microsoft Neoverse-N2 processor. It is configured with 32.0 GB of RAM, yielding a high resource density of 8.0 GB per vCPU, and includes 236 GB of local storage with Premium Storage capabilities. Performance benchmarks reveal a top-tier memory subsystem, with Passmark memory scores in the top 10% and strong single-threaded gzip compression. However, the instance exhibits tradeoffs in compute-intensive tasks, showing weak performance in image processing and poor results in cryptographic encryption tests. This virtual machine provides a cost-efficient profile for memory-bound workloads, making it highly suitable for database operations, Redis caching, and static web serving, while being less optimal for CPU-heavy or cryptographic applications.

    Workload Profiles

    0.547Score
    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.
