    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An AMD EPYC powered virtual machine with low memory capacity that delivers top tier single core performance for dedicated workloads.

    Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

    Microsoft Azure F2als_v7 is a compute-focused virtual machine from the Falsv7 family, featuring 2 dedicated vCPUs powered by an AMD EPYC 9V45 processor running at 4.5 GHz. Built on the x86_64 architecture, it is equipped with 4.0 GB of system memory, providing a low memory-to-core ratio of 2.0 GB per vCPU. The instance does not include local storage or GPUs but supports Premium Storage. Benchmarks highlight top-tier single-core CPU performance and single-threaded compression speeds, though multi-threaded decompression and memory performance fall into lower tiers. Given its high clock speed and dedicated CPU allocation, the F2als_v7 is qualitatively cost-efficient for compute-bound, single-threaded tasks, lightweight web serving, and basic utility workloads that do not require extensive memory or local storage resources.

    Workload Profiles

    0.325Score
    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.
