      Server Description

      A memory-optimized virtual machine featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors and a high memory-to-core ratio for memory-intensive workloads.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Microsoft Azure E4s_v6 is an x86_64 memory-optimized virtual machine from the Esv6 family, powered by a 4.2 GHz Intel Xeon 8573C processor. It provides 4 dedicated vCPUs and 32.0 GB of RAM, resulting in an 8.0 GB per core memory allocation. The instance features no local storage but supports Premium Storage, and contains no GPUs. Benchmarks indicate strong single-core performance, highlighted by a Geekbench single-core score of 2146.0 and 31.25 GB/sec single-threaded gzip compression. Conversely, multi-core execution and memory bandwidth are weaker, with stress-ng multi-core and uncached memory read speeds falling into the bottom 25%. Supported by Intel AMX and AVX-512 instruction sets, the E4s_v6 is designed for memory-intensive workloads such as databases, text processing, and caching systems that require a high memory-to-vCPU ratio without demanding high multi-core scaling.

      Workload Profiles

      0.49Score
      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.
