    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A dedicated AMD-powered instance featuring high-frequency single-core execution, balanced memory, and substantial local storage for database and general-purpose workloads.

    General PurposeStorage & DatabaseCompute Optimized

    Microsoft Azure F16ads_v7 is an x86_64 server instance from the Fadsv7 family, powered by a dedicated AMD EPYC 9V45 processor operating at 4.5 GHz. It features 16 physical cores, 16 vCPUs, 64.0 GB of RAM, and 1890 GB of local storage. Running on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor, this instance delivers top-tier single-core performance, as evidenced by stress-ng and gzip compression benchmarks ranking in the top 10%. While multi-core CPU and memory bandwidth benchmarks align with the average tier, its single-threaded decompression and small-model LLM text generation are exceptionally strong. The combination of dedicated high-frequency cores, a 1:4 vCPU-to-RAM ratio, and substantial local storage makes this server well-suited for database operations, web serving, and general-purpose workloads requiring reliable single-core execution and local disk caching.

    Performance

    Workload Profiles

    1.32Score
    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.
