    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A balanced virtual server combining top-tier single-core CPU performance with dedicated local storage for general-purpose and database workloads.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    The Microsoft Azure F4ads_v7 is an x86_64 virtual machine powered by a dedicated 4.5 GHz AMD EPYC 9V45 processor with 4 physical cores and 4 threads. It features 16.0 GB of RAM and 472 GB of local storage, operating under the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. Benchmark data highlights top-tier single-core CPU performance, with stress-ng single-core and single-threaded gzip compression scoring in the top 10% of tested servers. Multi-core performance, memory bandwidth, and database operations fall within the average range. While the instance delivers efficient text generation for small language models, prompt processing for medium models is weak, representing a clear performance tradeoff. This server is suited for general-purpose workloads, web serving, and database operations that benefit from strong single-threaded execution and local storage.

    Workload Profiles

    0.489Score
    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.
