      Server Description

      A memory-optimized virtual machine featuring high RAM-to-vCPU density and dedicated Intel Xeon performance for database and caching workloads.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Microsoft Azure E8s_v5 is a memory-optimized virtual machine from the ESv5 family, powered by an Intel Xeon 8370C processor running at 2.8 GHz. It provides 8 dedicated vCPUs across 4 physical cores, 64.0 GB of RAM, and no local storage, though it supports Premium Storage. Operating on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor, the x86_64 architecture includes AVX-512 and cryptography acceleration. Performance benchmarks generally fall into the average tier, with a Geekbench multi-core score of 6161.0 and Redis SET performance reaching 7.97 million operations per second. However, multi-threaded bzip3 decompression and medium-to-large LLM text generation show weaker performance. This configuration is highly suitable for memory-intensive workloads like database operations, caching, and web serving, offering a balanced qualitative cost-to-memory ratio for enterprise applications that do not require local NVMe drives or GPU acceleration.

      Workload Profiles

      0.62Score
      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.
