    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A high-density memory-optimized instance featuring fast local NVMe storage and top-tier single-core AMD EPYC performance for demanding database workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    The Microsoft Azure F16-4amds_v7 is a memory-optimized virtual machine from the Famdsv7 family, powered by a 4.5 GHz AMD EPYC 9V45 processor with 4 dedicated vCPUs. It features a substantial 128.0 GB of RAM, providing a high resource density of 32.0 GB per core, alongside a bundled 1890 GB NVMe SSD. Operating on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor, the server delivers top-tier single-core CPU performance and fast text generation speeds for small language models, though multi-core and larger model prompt processing speeds remain average to weak. With its massive memory allocation and fast local storage, this server is designed for memory-intensive workloads, including database hosting, caching layers, and in-memory data processing.

    Performance

    Workload Profiles

    0.79Score
    Precomputed compound score for CI/CD Build 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% Geekbench Clang compilation (multi-core), 10% Geekbench Clang compilation (single-core), 20% stress-ng div16 best-N cores, 5% PassMark integer math, 5% PassMark compression, 5% Brotli compression (multi-core, level 0), 5% PassMark string sorting. Rationale for component selection: Build performance is mainly driven by multi-core compilation throughput, but also bundles single-core compilation speed and general CPU performance, multi-core compression and text/scripting processing.Partial coverage: missing component benchmark(s): Geekbench Clang compilation (multi-core), Geekbench Clang compilation (single-core), PassMark integer math, PassMark compression, Brotli compression (multi-core, level 0), PassMark string sorting.
