    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A memory-optimized virtual machine featuring high single-core speed, substantial RAM density, and integrated local SSD storage for memory-intensive workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure E8-4ds_v6 is a memory-optimized virtual machine from the Edsv6 family, featuring 4 vCPUs and 64.0 GB of RAM. Powered by an Intel Xeon 8573C processor running at 4.2 GHz on the x86_64 architecture, it includes 472 GB of local SSD storage. The server exhibits strong single-core performance, highlighted by a top-tier Geekbench single-core score of 2170.0 and strong single-threaded gzip compression. However, multi-core performance and memory read bandwidth are relatively weak, as evidenced by lower stress-ng multi-core and large-block read benchmarks. With a high memory-to-vCPU ratio of 16.0 GB per core, this instance provides qualitative resource density for memory-bound applications. It is best suited for database operations, text processing, and caching workloads that benefit from high memory capacity and strong single-thread execution rather than heavy multi-threaded parallel processing.

    Workload Profiles

    0.501Score
    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.
