    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A memory-optimized virtual machine featuring high RAM density, substantial local storage, and strong multi-core processing for enterprise database workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure E96-48ads_v5 is an x86_64 virtual machine from the EADSv5 family, featuring 48 vCPUs and 24 physical cores powered by an AMD EPYC 7763 processor operating at 3.525 GHz. It is equipped with 672.0 GB of RAM, representing a high memory-to-core ratio of 14.0 GB per vCPU, and includes 3686 GB of local storage. Benchmark results show strong multi-core CPU and top-tier memory performance, with PassMark memory scores ranking in the top 10%. However, single-core performance and large-block memory bandwidth remain average. Due to the absence of a GPU, the instance is poorly suited for large-scale LLM text generation, but its high memory density and local storage make it highly effective for memory-intensive databases, caching systems, and enterprise workloads.

    Workload Profiles

    1.81Score
    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.
