    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A high-frequency, low-memory compute instance featuring dedicated AMD EPYC cores optimized for single-threaded workloads and lightweight services.

    Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

    Microsoft Azure F4als_v7 is an x86_64 compute-optimized server instance powered by a dedicated 4.5 GHz AMD EPYC 9V45 processor with 4 vCPUs and 4 physical cores. It features 8.0 GB of system memory, providing 2.0 GB per core, with no bundled local storage or GPU accelerators. The instance exhibits top-tier single-core performance, ranking in the top 10% for single-threaded stress-ng, gzip compression, and bzip3 decompression benchmarks. Conversely, its multi-core performance and memory bandwidth fall into the average tier, and prompt processing for larger 7B models is weak due to the low memory-to-CPU ratio. This configuration is qualitatively cost-efficient for compute-heavy, low-memory workloads, making it suitable for single-threaded processing, lightweight web serving, and microservices.

    Workload Profiles

    0.488Score
    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.
