      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A memory-optimized virtual machine featuring dedicated Intel Xeon compute, advanced matrix extensions, and high memory-to-core density for database workloads.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      The Microsoft Azure E8ns_v6 is an Env6 family virtual machine featuring 8 dedicated vCPUs and 64.0 GB of RAM, powered by an Intel Xeon 8573C processor running at 4.2 GHz. Built on the x86_64 architecture with Microsoft Hyper-V, it provides 8.0 GB of memory per core and a 260 MB L3 cache. The hardware supports advanced instructions like AVX-512 and Intel AMX. While it lacks local storage and GPUs, it is Premium Storage capable. Benchmarks reveal strong single-core performance, with a Geekbench single-core score of 2040.0, and average multi-core capabilities, including a Passmark CPU score of 14017.42. It handles Redis SET operations at 10.8 million operations per second but exhibits a performance tradeoff in medium-model LLM text generation, which drops to 8.17 tokens/sec. This server is appropriate for memory-intensive workloads, database operations, and static web serving.

      Workload Profiles

      0.79Score
      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.
