      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A memory-optimized virtual machine featuring high RAM density and dedicated Intel processing for memory-intensive, low-compute workloads.

      Memory Optimized

      Microsoft Azure E8-2s_v5 is a memory-optimized virtual machine from the ESv5 family, powered by a dedicated Intel Xeon 8370C processor running at 2.8 GHz. Utilizing the x86_64 architecture under Microsoft Hyper-V, it provides 2 vCPUs from a single physical core and a substantial 64.0 GB of RAM, resulting in a high memory-to-core ratio of 32.0 GB. The instance lacks local storage and GPU accelerators. Benchmark results indicate average single-core performance, but multi-core and memory bandwidth metrics are poor due to the limited vCPU count. Consequently, this server is qualitatively cost-efficient for memory-heavy, low-compute tasks. It is best suited for workloads requiring large memory capacities with minimal parallel processing requirements, such as small database instances, caching layers, or memory-bound data processing.

      Workload Profiles

      0.21Score
      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.
