    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An x86_64 memory-optimized virtual machine featuring a dedicated 4.2 GHz Intel Xeon processor and a high memory-to-core ratio.

    Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

    Microsoft Azure E8s_v6 is an x86_64 virtual machine configured with 8 vCPUs and 64.0 GB of RAM, delivering a memory-optimized 1:8 vCPU-to-RAM ratio. Powered by a dedicated Intel Xeon 8573C processor operating at 4.2 GHz, this Hyper-V hosted instance features 4 physical cores and a 260 MB L3 cache. It lacks local storage and GPUs but supports Premium Storage. Benchmarks show strong single-core performance, with a Geekbench single-core score of 2164.0 and single-threaded gzip compression of 31.4 GB/sec, alongside average multi-core and memory bandwidth results. However, LLM inference for larger models is a notable bottleneck, with text generation on a medium model dropping to 8.03 tokens/sec. This instance is suited for database operations, memory-intensive applications, and text processing workloads.

    Workload Profiles

    0.879Score
    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.
