    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A high-capacity memory-optimized instance featuring ninety-six AMD EPYC cores and fast local SSD storage for demanding database workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & DatabaseGeneral Purpose

    Microsoft Azure E96ads_v5 is a memory-optimized virtual machine utilizing a dedicated AMD EPYC 7763 processor with 96 vCPUs running at 3.7 GHz. Built on the x86_64 architecture, it features 672.0 GB of RAM and 3686 GB of local SSD storage. The instance delivers top-tier multi-core CPU and encryption performance, ranking in the top 10% in stress-ng and PassMark benchmarks. Its memory subsystem also registers top-tier scores, though uncached large-block memory bandwidth remains average. With a high memory-to-vCPU ratio of 7.0 GB per core and substantial local storage, the E96ads_v5 is designed for memory-intensive enterprise workloads, relational databases, and large-scale data processing tasks where GPU acceleration is not required. It offers high resource density and qualitative cost efficiency for memory-bound workloads.

    Workload Profiles

    2.8Score
    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.
