    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A dedicated dual-core virtual machine offering strong single-threaded AMD EPYC performance and balanced memory for lightweight general-purpose workloads.

    General PurposeCompute Optimized

    Microsoft Azure F2as_v6 is a general-purpose virtual machine from the Fasv6 family, powered by 2 dedicated AMD EPYC 9V74 physical cores running at 3.7 GHz on the x86_64 architecture. It is equipped with 8.0 GB of RAM (4.0 GB per core) and lacks local storage, though it supports Premium Storage. Benchmark results show strong single-core CPU and text processing performance, placing in the top 25%. However, multi-core performance, memory read bandwidth, and database operations are weaker, falling into the bottom 25%. The server delivers average results for single-threaded compression and small-model LLM inference. This hardware profile makes the F2as_v6 a cost-efficient option for single-threaded applications, lightweight text processing, and basic development environments, while it is less suited for memory-intensive databases or highly parallelized workloads.

    Workload Profiles

    0.287Score
    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.
