    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A memory-intensive dual-core virtual machine delivering strong single-threaded performance and high memory density for lightweight, memory-bound workloads.

    Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

    The Microsoft Azure F2ams_v6 is a memory-intensive virtual machine from the Famsv6 family, powered by an AMD EPYC 9V74 processor running at 3.7 GHz on the x86_64 architecture. It features 2 dedicated vCPUs, 2 physical cores, and 16.0 GB of RAM, providing a high memory-to-core ratio of 8.0 GB. While it lacks local storage and GPUs, it supports premium storage. Performance benchmarks show strong single-core capabilities, with stress-ng and Geekbench single-core scores in the top 25%. However, multi-core performance and memory read bandwidth are relatively weak, placing in the bottom 25%. This server is qualitatively cost-efficient for memory-bound, single-threaded workloads, such as text processing, lightweight caching, and small-scale LLM inference, but is less optimal for highly parallelized tasks or intensive database operations.

    Workload Profiles

    0.298Score
    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.
