    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A balanced four-core virtual machine featuring high-frequency dedicated processors and fast local NVMe SSD storage for single-threaded and general-purpose workloads.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure F4ads_v7 is an x86_64 virtual machine from the Fadsv7 family, powered by a dedicated 4-core AMD EPYC 9V45 processor running at 4.5 GHz. It features 16.0 GB of memory (4.0 GB per core) and a bundled 472 GB NVMe SSD for fast local storage. Benchmark data highlights top-tier single-core performance, with stress-ng single-core and Geekbench single-core scores in the top 10% tier, alongside highly efficient single-threaded compression and small-model text generation. Multi-core performance, memory bandwidth, and database operations align with average tier expectations. Qualitatively, the F4ads_v7 provides a balanced resource profile, combining high-frequency dedicated cores with low-latency local storage. This makes it suitable for general-purpose computing, single-threaded processing, lightweight database operations, and static web serving.

    Workload Profiles

    0.48Score
    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.
