      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A high-density, memory-optimized virtual server featuring ninety-six virtual cores and exceptional memory bandwidth for demanding enterprise database workloads.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      The Microsoft Azure E96s_v5 is a memory-optimized, x86_64 architecture server powered by a dedicated 96-vCPU Intel Xeon 8370C processor operating at 2.8 GHz. Equipped with 672.0 GB of RAM and utilizing Microsoft Hyper-V virtualization, this instance is designed for memory-intensive workloads but lacks local storage and GPUs. Benchmark results show strong multi-core processing, exceptional memory bandwidth, and high throughput for database operations and web serving. Conversely, single-core performance and large-scale LLM text generation are average to weak. This hardware profile makes the E96s_v5 highly suitable for memory-heavy enterprise applications, relational databases, and multi-threaded software compilation where high memory density is required.

      Workload Profiles

      4.2Score
      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.
