    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An entry-level, compute-optimized virtual machine featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processing and a balanced, low-capacity memory footprint for lightweight workloads.

    Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

    Microsoft Azure F2s_v2 is an x86_64 compute-optimized virtual machine from the FSv2 family, powered by a dedicated Intel Xeon 8272CL processor running at 2.6 GHz. It provides 2 vCPUs from a single physical core, 4.0 GB of system memory, and 16 GB of Premium Storage-capable local storage. Operating on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor, the instance supports AVX-512F and AES instructions. Performance benchmarks show average single-core capabilities, with a Geekbench single-core score of 1252.0 and gzip compression of 23.99 GB/sec, but multi-core and memory bandwidth metrics remain in the lower percentiles. Due to its 4.0 GB memory constraint and lack of GPU acceleration, the F2s_v2 is best suited for lightweight, compute-bound workloads, basic single-threaded batch processing, and small-scale web serving or development environments.

    Workload Profiles

    0.144Score
    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.
