    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An x86_64 virtual machine offering a high memory-to-vCPU ratio and local storage for memory-intensive enterprise workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure E8_v3 is an Ev3-family virtual machine configured with 8 dedicated vCPUs and 64.0 GB of RAM, running on an Intel Xeon E5-2673 v4 processor with x86_64 architecture. Operating at 2.3 GHz, this server features 4 physical cores with hyper-threading and a 50 MB L3 cache. It includes 205 GB of local storage but lacks GPU accelerators. Benchmark data indicates modest performance, with a stress-ng single-core score of 804.19 and a multi-core score of 3703.28, placing its compute capabilities in the lower percentiles. Memory bandwidth is measured at 35.42 GB/sec for large blocks, and Redis SET operations reach 4.4 million operations per second. Given its high memory-to-vCPU ratio of 8.0 GB per core, the E8_v3 is qualitatively cost-efficient for memory-heavy, compute-light workloads. It is best suited for database hosting, caching layers, and memory-intensive enterprise applications.

    Workload Profiles

    0.293Score
    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.
