      Server Description

      A high-density memory configuration featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processing and exceptional single-core performance for memory-bound applications.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Microsoft Azure E8-2s_v6 is a memory-optimized virtual machine from the Esv6 family, powered by a dedicated Intel Xeon 8573C processor running at 4.2 GHz. Utilizing the x86_64 architecture, it features 2 vCPUs from a single physical core and a large 260 MB L3 cache. The server is characterized by its high memory density, offering 64.0 GB of RAM (32.0 GB per core). It contains no local storage but supports Premium Storage for external disk attachment, and lacks integrated GPUs. Benchmark data indicates strong single-core performance, highlighted by high single-threaded gzip compression and Geekbench single-core scores, though multi-core and memory bandwidth metrics are comparatively weak. This configuration is highly cost-effective for memory-intensive, low-compute workloads, making it an appropriate fit for small in-memory databases, caching layers, and memory-bound single-threaded applications.

      Workload Profiles

      0.28Score
      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.
