    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A high-frequency dual-core virtual machine with local NVMe storage, optimized for strong single-threaded performance and balanced workloads.

    General PurposeCompute OptimizedStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure F2ads_v7 is a general-purpose virtual machine featuring 2 dedicated vCPUs powered by an AMD EPYC 9V45 processor running at 4.5 GHz on the x86_64 architecture. It is equipped with 8.0 GB of RAM and a 236 GB local NVMe SSD, with no GPU acceleration. Benchmarks show top-tier single-core CPU performance and single-threaded compression speeds, though multi-core scaling and static web serving throughput remain average to weak. This resource profile offers qualitative cost efficiency for workloads that prioritize high clock speeds over massive parallelization. It is well-suited for lightweight databases, single-threaded data processing, and general-purpose development tasks.

    Performance

    Workload Profiles

    0.32Score
    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.
