    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A memory-intensive x86_64 virtual machine featuring high-frequency AMD EPYC processing and top-tier single-core performance for memory-bound workloads.

    Memory OptimizedCompute Optimized

    Microsoft Azure F16-8ams_v7 is an x86_64 memory-intensive virtual machine from the Famsv7 family, running on Microsoft Hyper-V. It features 8 dedicated AMD EPYC 9V45 vCPUs operating at 4.5 GHz with 128.0 GB of RAM, providing a high density of 16.0 GB per core. The server lacks local storage and GPUs but is premium storage capable. Benchmarks show top-tier single-core CPU and compression performance, alongside strong memory performance. However, multi-core CPU and large-model LLM inference benchmarks remain average to poor. This profile makes the instance qualitatively cost-efficient for memory-bound applications that prioritize single-threaded speed over massive parallelization, such as database operations, memory-intensive workloads, and small-scale model inference.

    Workload Profiles

    0.751Score
    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.
