      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      An ARM-powered, memory-dense virtual machine delivering top-tier multi-core performance and high memory bandwidth for demanding enterprise database workloads.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Microsoft Azure E96ps_v6 is an ARM-based virtual machine from the Epsv6 family, configured with 96 dedicated physical cores on a 3.4 GHz Microsoft Neoverse-N2 processor. It features 672.0 GB of RAM, yielding 7.0 GB of memory per core, and operates on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. While it lacks local storage and GPUs, it is Premium Storage capable. Benchmarks highlight top-tier multi-core CPU performance, exceptional memory bandwidth, and superior database and Redis SET operations. However, single-core performance remains average, and text generation for very small LLM models is weak. This memory-dense, multi-core profile makes the E96ps_v6 highly efficient for large-scale databases, software compilation, and multi-threaded enterprise workloads.

      Workload Profiles

      5.4Score
      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.
