    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A high-capacity memory-optimized virtual machine featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors and substantial local NVMe storage for demanding database workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & DatabaseGeneral Purpose

    Microsoft Azure E96ds_v5 is a memory-optimized virtual machine from the EDSv5 family, powered by a 96-vCPU Intel Xeon 8370C processor running at 2.8 GHz. Built on the x86_64 architecture and managed via Microsoft Hyper-V, this instance provides 672.0 GB of RAM and 3686 GB of local storage. Benchmark data highlights strong multi-core processing and memory bandwidth, with read-only large block memory bandwidth reaching 330.43 GB/sec. Cryptographic performance is particularly notable, ranking in the top 10% on the Passmark encryption test. With a high memory-to-vCPU ratio and substantial local storage, the E96ds_v5 is designed for memory-intensive workloads, including large-scale database operations, high-throughput Redis caching, and enterprise-grade data processing.

    Workload Profiles

    4.25Score
    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.
