      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A memory-dense, 96-vCPU virtual server delivering strong multi-core performance and high memory bandwidth for enterprise database workloads.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Microsoft Azure E96_v5 is an x86_64 memory-optimized server from the Ev5 family, powered by a 2.8 GHz Intel Xeon 8370C processor. It features 96 dedicated vCPUs across 48 physical cores, 672.0 GB of RAM, and no local storage or GPUs. While single-core benchmarks are average, multi-core performance is strong, highlighted by a PassMark CPU score of 76593.39 and top-tier cryptographic encryption capabilities. Memory bandwidth is highly efficient, reaching 331.76 GB/sec for large-block reads. The lack of local storage is a key tradeoff, requiring network-attached storage. This server is suited for memory-intensive workloads, large databases, Redis deployments, and multi-threaded enterprise applications.

      Workload Profiles

      3.9Score
      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.
