      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      An AMD-powered, memory-intensive virtual machine featuring a high memory-to-core ratio and top-tier single-core processing performance for memory-bound workloads.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Microsoft Azure F32-16ams_v7 is an x86_64 memory-intensive virtual machine from the Famsv7 family, powered by a 16-core AMD EPYC 9V45 processor running at 4.5 GHz with 16 vCPUs and 256.0 GB of RAM. This configuration provides a high memory-to-core ratio of 16.0 GB per core. The server lacks local storage and complimentary public IPv4 addresses, relying on network-attached storage. In benchmark testing, the instance exhibits top-tier single-core CPU performance and single-threaded compression speeds, alongside strong multi-threaded decompression and small-model LLM text generation. However, multi-core CPU performance and memory bandwidth benchmarks remain in the average tier. This server is optimized for memory-bound workloads, database operations, and applications requiring high single-core efficiency paired with substantial memory capacity.

      Workload Profiles

      1.3Score
      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.
