    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A memory-optimized virtual machine featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors, high-speed local SSD storage, and a 1:8 vCPU-to-RAM ratio.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure E8ds_v5 is an x86_64 memory-optimized virtual machine powered by an Intel Xeon 8370C processor with 8 dedicated vCPUs and 64.0 GB of RAM. Operating at 2.8 GHz, it features 48 MB of L3 cache and supports AVX-512 instruction sets. The server includes 307 GB of local SSD storage and supports Premium Storage. Benchmark results indicate balanced performance, with a Geekbench multi-core score of 6145.0, a Redis SET throughput of 7.88 million operations per second, and a static web serving throughput of 12.5 GB/sec. However, LLM inference performance on a 7B model is weak, generating 6.39 tokens per second. This instance is highly suited for memory-intensive workloads, database operations, and caching layers, offering a robust qualitative balance of high memory density and local SSD storage without the overhead of dedicated GPU hardware.

    Workload Profiles

    0.59Score
    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.
