    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A memory-optimized virtual machine with dedicated Intel Xeon processors and local SSD storage for database and caching workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure E8bds_v5 is an x86_64 memory-optimized virtual machine from the EBDSv5 family, running on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. It features 8 dedicated vCPUs powered by an Intel Xeon 8370C processor at 2.8 GHz, 64.0 GB of RAM, and a 307 GB local SSD. Benchmark data indicates average performance across standard operations, with a Geekbench multi-core score of 6090.0 and a Redis SET throughput of 7.99 million operations per second. The instance demonstrates high memory bandwidth, reaching 417.1 GB/sec for cached small blocks, though it exhibits weaker performance in multi-threaded bzip3 decompression and 7B LLM inference. With 8.0 GB of RAM per vCPU and built-in local storage, the E8bds_v5 is qualitatively cost-efficient for memory-heavy workloads, making it well-suited for database hosting, caching layers, and static web serving.

    Workload Profiles

    0.62Score
    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.
