    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A memory-dense cloud instance with 64 GB RAM, local SSD storage, and dedicated vCPUs designed for in-memory caching and databases.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure E8s_v3 is a memory-optimized cloud server instance from the ESv3 family featuring 8 dedicated vCPUs powered by an Intel Xeon 8272CL processor at 2.6 GHz, 64.0 GB of RAM, and 131 GB of local SSD storage. Designed with an 8:1 RAM-to-vCPU ratio, the instance provides strong memory density supported by a 50 MB L3 cache and AVX-512 vector instruction support. Benchmark metrics demonstrate average memory bandwidth, achieving 42.29 GB/sec on uncached reads, 6.16 million Redis SET operations per second, and average database operation performance. However, raw processor benchmarks place single-core and multi-core CPU throughput in the bottom 25% range. This resource structure provides solid cost efficiency for memory-centric applications where database caching and state maintenance take priority over raw CPU computation, making it well matched for relational databases, in-memory caching stores, and software compilation tasks.

    Performance

    Workload Profiles

    0.39Score
    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.
