      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A memory-optimized virtual machine featuring a high RAM-to-vCPU ratio for memory-bound workloads requiring moderate single-core processing power.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Microsoft Azure E4s_v4 is a memory-optimized virtual machine featuring 4 vCPUs and 32.0 GB of RAM, powered by an Intel Xeon 8272CL processor running at 2.6 GHz on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. Built on the x86_64 architecture, this instance allocates 2 physical cores with Hyper-Threading and a 35 MB L3 cache. It does not include local storage or GPUs but supports Premium Storage. Benchmarks reveal average single-core performance alongside weaker multi-core and memory bandwidth results. This hardware profile offers a cost-effective entry point for memory-bound applications that do not require intensive parallel computation. It is best suited for moderate database operations, caching layers, and general-purpose enterprise workloads with high memory requirements.

      Workload Profiles

      0.27Score
      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.
