      Server Description

      An x86 memory-optimized virtual machine featuring a high RAM-to-vCPU ratio for database operations and caching workloads.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Microsoft Azure E8_v5 is a memory-optimized virtual machine from the Ev5 family, running on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. It features an Intel Xeon 8370C x86_64 processor with 8 dedicated vCPUs (4 physical cores) operating at 2.8 GHz, paired with 64.0 GB of RAM. This configuration yields a high memory-to-vCPU ratio of 8.0 GB per core. The instance includes no local storage or GPUs. Benchmark data indicates average performance across most CPU, memory, and database operations, though multi-threaded bzip3 decompression and medium-sized LLM inference speeds fall into the bottom 25%. Supported by CPU flags like AVX-512 VNNI and SHA_NI, the E8_v5 is suited for memory-intensive workloads such as database operations, Redis caching, and static web serving.

      Workload Profiles

      0.63Score
      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.
