    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A memory-optimized virtual machine featuring dedicated high-frequency processors and a high memory-to-core ratio for database and caching workloads.

    Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

    Microsoft Azure E8ns_v6 is a memory-optimized virtual machine from the Env6 family, featuring 8 dedicated vCPUs and 64.0 GB of RAM. Powered by an Intel Xeon 8573C processor running at 4.2 GHz, it utilizes the x86_64 architecture with 4 physical cores and hyper-threading. The instance lacks local storage and GPUs, relying instead on external Premium Storage. Performance benchmarks place the server in the average tier, with a PassMark CPU score of 14017.42 and Redis SET throughput of 10.8 million operations per second. It shows strong performance in small-model LLM text generation at 311.01 tokens per second. The E8ns_v6 is qualitatively cost-efficient for memory-intensive applications, making it well-suited for database operations, caching layers, and lightweight inference workloads that do not require local storage.

    Workload Profiles

    0.787Score
    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.
