    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A high-capacity memory-optimized virtual machine featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors for demanding database and enterprise caching workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & DatabaseCompute Optimized

    Microsoft Azure E96s_v7 is a memory-optimized virtual machine from the Esv7 family, featuring 96 dedicated vCPUs and 768.0 GB of RAM. Powered by an Intel Xeon 6973P-C processor running at 4.2 GHz with a 480 MB L3 cache, this x86_64 server delivers strong multi-core performance and top-tier memory bandwidth. Although it lacks local storage and GPUs, it is Premium Storage capable. Benchmark data highlights its efficiency in memory-bound and database workloads, with top-tier results in Redis SET operations (160.72 million operations/sec), PassMark database operations, and multi-threaded decompression. The inclusion of Intel AMX and AVX-512 instruction sets also enables fast CPU-based LLM prompt processing. This server is highly suited for large-scale databases, in-memory caching, and data-intensive enterprise applications.

    Workload Profiles

    5.87Score
    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.
