    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A memory-optimized virtual server featuring dedicated Intel processors, high RAM-to-core density, and integrated local SSD storage for database workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    The Microsoft Azure E8d_v4 is a memory-optimized x86_64 server from the EDv4 family, configured with 8 dedicated vCPUs from an Intel Xeon 8272CL processor running at 2.6 GHz. It features 64.0 GB of RAM, providing a high 8.0 GB per core ratio, and includes a 307 GB local SSD. Virtualized via Microsoft Hyper-V, its performance benchmarks generally fall in the average tier, with solid cached memory bandwidth of 413.99 GB/sec and 6.53 million Redis SET operations per second. However, it exhibits weaker performance in large uncached memory transfers and single-threaded compression. This server offers qualitative cost efficiency for memory-heavy applications by bundling local SSD storage. It is highly suited for database operations, caching layers, and memory-intensive enterprise workloads.

    Workload Profiles

    0.43Score
    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.
