    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A memory-optimized virtual machine with dedicated Intel Xeon compute, high-speed NVMe storage, and advanced matrix extension support for demanding workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure E8ds_v7 is a memory-optimized virtual machine from the Edsv7 family, powered by an 8-vCPU Intel Xeon 6973P-C processor running at 4.2 GHz. It features 64 GB of RAM, providing a high 1:8 vCPU-to-memory ratio, and includes 472 GB of local NVMe SSD storage. Operating on Microsoft Hyper-V, the instance supports advanced instruction sets such as AVX-512 and Intel AMX for accelerated matrix operations. Benchmark results show strong single-threaded performance, with gzip compression reaching 35.21 GB/sec and bzip3 decompression at 14.51 GB/sec, alongside average multi-core and memory bandwidth metrics. With its high memory density and dedicated CPU allocation, the E8ds_v7 is qualitatively cost-efficient for memory-bound workloads. It is highly suitable for relational databases, in-memory caching systems like Redis, and data processing tasks.

    Performance

    Workload Profiles

    0.95Score
    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.
