CPU and System Topology
Server Description
A memory-optimized virtual machine featuring high-density RAM, strong single-threaded compression performance, and a massive L3 cache for enterprise workloads.
Microsoft Azure E8s_v7 is a memory-optimized virtual machine from the Esv7 family, powered by an 8-vCPU Intel Xeon 6973P-C processor running at 4.2 GHz on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. Featuring 64.0 GB of RAM, it provides a high memory-to-core ratio of 8.0 GB per vCPU, backed by a large 480 MB L3 cache. While it lacks bundled local storage and GPUs, it is Premium Storage capable. Benchmark data reveals strong single-threaded performance, with gzip compression reaching 33.58 GB/sec and bzip3 decompression at 13.92 GB/sec. Other metrics, such as a multi-core stress-ng score of 8040.17 and 14.37 million Redis SET operations per second, sit in the average tier. This configuration is highly efficient for memory-intensive workloads, including relational databases, in-memory caching, and enterprise applications that require significant memory capacity without excessive CPU overhead.
