      Server Description

      A memory-optimized virtual machine featuring 48 dedicated AMD EPYC cores and 672 GB of RAM for demanding enterprise workloads.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Microsoft Azure E96-48as_v5 is a memory-optimized virtual machine powered by an AMD EPYC 7763 processor with 48 dedicated vCPUs and 24 physical cores running at 3.525 GHz. It features 672.0 GB of RAM, translating to 14.0 GB per core, and operates on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. The instance does not include local storage but is Premium Storage capable, and it lacks GPU accelerators. Benchmarks highlight top-tier memory performance alongside strong multi-core CPU capabilities, particularly in multi-threaded decompression and encryption tasks. Conversely, memory bandwidth and database operations perform at average levels. Given its high memory-to-vCPU ratio and strong computational foundation, this server is best suited for memory-intensive enterprise workloads, in-memory databases, and large-scale data processing applications that do not require local disk storage.

      Workload Profiles

      1.8Score
      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.
