      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A memory-intensive dual-core instance delivering exceptional single-threaded performance and high memory density for specialized, low-concurrency workloads.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Microsoft Azure F2ams_v7 is a memory-intensive virtual machine powered by a 2-core AMD EPYC 9V45 processor running at 4.5 GHz on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. It features 16.0 GB of RAM, providing a high memory-to-core ratio of 8.0 GB per core, but lacks local storage and GPU accelerators. Benchmarks reveal a significant performance contrast: single-core CPU execution, gzip compression, and single-threaded bzip3 decompression rank in the top 10%, whereas multi-threaded performance, PassMark CPU scores, and database operations fall into the bottom 25%. This resource profile makes the F2ams_v7 qualitatively cost-effective for memory-bound, single-threaded workloads. It is best suited for lightweight caching, memory-intensive applications, and single-threaded processing tasks that benefit from high clock speeds and dedicated CPU allocation without requiring extensive multi-core scaling or local disk storage.

      Workload Profiles

      0.31Score
      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.
