      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      An Intel-powered, memory-optimized virtual machine featuring high memory density and advanced matrix extensions for memory-bound enterprise workloads.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Microsoft Azure E4s_v7 is a memory-optimized virtual machine from the Esv7 family, powered by a 4.2 GHz Intel Xeon 6973P-C processor with 4 dedicated vCPUs and 32.0 GB of RAM. Lacking local storage and GPUs, this instance relies on remote Premium Storage. It features a massive 480 MB L3 cache and supports Intel AMX and AVX-512 instructions. Benchmark results show strong single-threaded gzip compression at 32.55 GB/sec, average single-core CPU performance, and average Redis SET throughput of 8.21 million operations per second, though multi-core scaling and database operations are relatively weak. This hardware profile is qualitatively cost-efficient for memory-heavy, low-to-moderate compute workloads such as caching layers, web serving, and relational databases.

      Workload Profiles

      0.56Score
      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.
