    Server Description

    A memory-optimized virtual machine featuring high RAM-to-vCPU density and dedicated AMD EPYC processing for memory-intensive enterprise workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure E96-48as_v4 is an x86_64 memory-optimized virtual machine from the EASv4 family, powered by an AMD EPYC 7763 processor. It features 48 dedicated vCPUs (24 physical cores) running at 3.525 GHz, 672.0 GB of RAM, and a 1376 GB local SSD. The server delivers strong multi-core CPU performance, ranking in the top 25% for stress-ng and PassMark CPU benchmarks, though memory bandwidth and database operations perform in the average tier. With a high memory-to-core ratio of 14.0 GB per core, this instance provides qualitative cost efficiency for memory-heavy workloads by minimizing unnecessary compute overhead. It supports large-scale databases, in-memory caching, and data processing tasks, though its lack of GPU acceleration and poor large-model LLM text generation speeds limit its utility for heavy AI training workloads.

    Workload Profiles

    1.7Score
    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.
