      Server Description

      A high-capacity, memory-optimized virtual machine featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors and exceptional memory bandwidth for enterprise database workloads.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      The Microsoft Azure E96s_v6 is an x86_64 memory-optimized virtual machine configured with 96 vCPUs and 768.0 GB of RAM, delivering a high memory-to-vCPU ratio of 8.0 GB per core. Powered by a dedicated Intel Xeon 8573C processor running at 4.2 GHz with 260 MB of L3 cache, it supports advanced instruction sets including AVX-512 and Intel AMX. While it lacks local storage and GPUs, it features exceptional memory bandwidth, reaching uncached read speeds of 509.22 GB/sec, and outstanding multi-core performance. Benchmarks highlight its capability in database operations and high-throughput Redis transactions. This instance is engineered for memory-intensive enterprise workloads, large-scale databases, and high-performance computing tasks.

      Workload Profiles

      5.9Score
      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.
