    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A high-capacity memory-optimized virtual machine featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors and exceptional memory bandwidth for data-intensive enterprise workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure E96-48s_v5 is an x86_64 memory-optimized virtual machine from the ESv5 family, featuring a dedicated Intel Xeon 8370C processor with 48 vCPUs and 24 physical cores running at 2.8 GHz. Equipped with 672.0 GB of RAM, it provides a substantial 14.0 GB of memory per core. While it lacks local storage and GPUs, it is Premium Storage capable. In benchmarks, the server exhibits strong memory performance, with large-block read bandwidth reaching 263.69 GB/sec and write bandwidth at 128.61 GB/sec, alongside high Passmark database operation scores. Conversely, its single-core and multi-core CPU compute metrics align with mid-range averages. This resource profile makes the E96-48s_v5 highly efficient for memory-bound applications, such as large-scale databases, in-memory data stores, and enterprise workloads requiring significant RAM capacity relative to compute resources.

    Workload Profiles

    2.59Score
    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.
