    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A memory-optimized virtual machine featuring ninety-six high-frequency Intel Xeon vCPUs and seven hundred sixty-eight gigabytes of RAM for enterprise workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure E96s_v7 is a memory-optimized virtual machine from the Esv7 family, powered by an Intel Xeon 6973P-C processor with 96 dedicated vCPUs and 48 physical cores running at 4.2 GHz. It features 768.0 GB of RAM, providing an 8.0 GB per core memory allocation. While it lacks local storage and GPUs, it is Premium Storage capable. Benchmarks reveal top-tier performance, including a PassMark CPU score of 109,110.34, a multi-threaded bzip3 decompression speed of 604.05 GB/sec, and 160.72 million Redis SET operations per second. The architecture supports AVX-512 and AMX instructions, enabling efficient CPU-based LLM prompt processing. This server is optimized for large-scale in-memory databases, caching layers, and enterprise workloads requiring substantial memory capacity and strong multi-core compute capabilities.

    Workload Profiles

    5.84Score
    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.
