    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A dedicated dual-core AMD processor instance with a low-memory footprint, optimized for single-threaded tasks and lightweight compute workloads.

    Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

    Microsoft Azure F2als_v6 is an x86_64 virtual machine from the Falsv6 family, featuring a dedicated AMD EPYC 9V74 processor with 2 vCPUs and 2 physical cores running at 3.7 GHz. It is configured with 4.0 GB of RAM, providing a low memory-to-CPU ratio of 2.0 GB per core, and contains no local storage or GPUs. Performance benchmarks indicate strong single-core capabilities, highlighted by a Geekbench single-core score of 2049.0 and strong text processing performance. However, multi-core and memory-bound operations, such as database tasks and multi-threaded decompression, perform in the lower tier. This server is qualitatively cost-effective for lightweight, compute-focused workloads that do not require substantial memory or local storage. It is best suited for single-threaded applications, basic text processing, and small-scale utility services.

    Workload Profiles

    0.284Score
    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.
