      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A single-core, memory-intensive virtual machine featuring high-frequency processing and a high memory-to-core ratio for specialized single-threaded workloads.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Microsoft Azure F2-1ams_v7 is a memory-intensive virtual machine from the Famsv7 family, powered by a dedicated AMD EPYC 9V45 processor running at 4.5 GHz on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. This single-core x86_64 instance features 1 vCPU, 16.0 GB of RAM, and no local storage or GPU resources. Benchmarks show top-tier single-core CPU performance, single-threaded gzip compression, and single-threaded bzip3 decompression. However, due to its single-core limitation, multi-core CPU performance, database operations, and static web serving throughput are weak to poor. Large uncached memory bandwidth and small-model LLM inference speeds remain average. This server provides a high memory-to-core ratio, making it qualitatively cost-efficient for memory-heavy, single-threaded workloads. It is best suited for memory-bound applications, lightweight caching, and single-threaded tasks that do not require parallel processing or local storage.

      Workload Profiles

      0.19Score
      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.
