      Server Description

      A memory-optimized virtual machine featuring a high memory-to-core ratio for handling database, caching, and enterprise application workloads.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Microsoft Azure E8_v4 is a memory-optimized virtual machine instance from the Ev4 family, featuring 8 dedicated vCPUs and 4 physical cores powered by an Intel Xeon 8272CL processor running at 2.6 GHz. Utilizing the x86_64 architecture, this instance is configured with 64.0 GB of system memory, yielding a high 8:1 memory-to-vCPU ratio. It does not include local storage or GPU accelerators. Benchmark results indicate average performance across standard compute and memory tasks, with a single-core Geekbench score of 1237.0 and a multi-core score of 4762.0. Memory bandwidth is solid, reaching 414.9 GB/sec for cached small blocks, and database performance is steady with 6.96 million Redis SET operations per second. Given its high memory density and moderate compute capabilities, the E8_v4 is best suited for memory-intensive workloads such as relational databases, in-memory caching, and enterprise application hosting.

      Workload Profiles

      0.46Score
      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.
