      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A dual-core virtual machine delivering top-tier single-core performance and high clock speeds for lightweight, compute-focused workloads.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      The Microsoft Azure F2as_v7 is a dual-core virtual machine from the Fasv7 family, powered by a dedicated AMD EPYC 9V45 processor running at 4.5 GHz. Built on the x86_64 architecture, it features 8.0 GB of system memory, translating to 4.0 GB per core, and lacks local storage or integrated GPUs. In performance testing, the instance excels in single-core tasks, with a stress-ng single-core score of 3779.98 placing it in the top 10% of its class. However, its multi-core performance remains average at 7529.28 due to the 2-vCPU limit. This hardware profile delivers strong qualitative cost efficiency for single-threaded workloads. The F2as_v7 is well-suited for lightweight web serving, microservices, CI/CD tasks, and development environments requiring high clock speeds without massive memory overhead.

      Performance

      Workload Profiles

      0.39Score
      Precomputed compound score for CI/CD Build 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% Geekbench Clang compilation (multi-core), 10% Geekbench Clang compilation (single-core), 20% stress-ng div16 best-N cores, 5% PassMark integer math, 5% PassMark compression, 5% Brotli compression (multi-core, level 0), 5% PassMark string sorting. Rationale for component selection: Build performance is mainly driven by multi-core compilation throughput, but also bundles single-core compilation speed and general CPU performance, multi-core compression and text/scripting processing.Partial coverage: missing component benchmark(s): Geekbench Clang compilation (multi-core), Geekbench Clang compilation (single-core), PassMark integer math, PassMark compression, Brotli compression (multi-core, level 0), PassMark string sorting.
