    Server Description

    An AMD-powered virtual machine offering high memory density per vCPU for memory-bound, single-threaded workloads without local storage.

    Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

    Microsoft Azure E8-2as_v5 is an EASv5-family virtual machine configured with 2 dedicated vCPUs and 64.0 GB of memory, running on an AMD EPYC 7763 processor at 3.525 GHz. This x86_64 architecture server features a high memory-to-vCPU ratio of 32.0 GB per core but lacks local storage and GPU resources. Performance benchmarks show a strong single-core stress-ng CPU result, contrasted by poor multi-core and database performance. Memory bandwidth is generally weak to poor, though Passmark memory scores remain average. Qualitatively, this server provides high memory capacity relative to its compute footprint, making it suitable for memory-intensive, low-compute workloads such as caching, text processing, and lightweight single-threaded applications.

    Workload Profiles

    0.173Score
    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.
