    Server Description

    An ARM-powered, memory-optimized virtual machine featuring dedicated physical cores, high-speed local NVMe storage, and top-tier memory bandwidth performance.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure E8pds_v6 is an ARM-based, memory-optimized virtual machine featuring 8 dedicated physical cores powered by the Microsoft Neoverse-N2 processor at 3.4 GHz. It is equipped with 64.0 GB of RAM, providing an 8.0 GB per core ratio, and includes 472 GB of local NVMe SSD storage. Benchmark results show top-tier memory performance, with the Passmark memory score in the top 10%, and strong single-threaded gzip compression. However, the instance exhibits weak performance in CPU encryption tests and poor prompt processing speeds for medium-sized large language models. Given its high memory density, dedicated core allocation, and integrated local NVMe storage, the E8pds_v6 is suited for memory-intensive applications, database deployments, and caching workloads, while being less optimal for cryptographic or machine learning inference tasks.

    Workload Profiles

    0.94Score
    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.
