    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A memory-intensive virtual machine featuring dedicated high-frequency AMD EPYC cores and a high RAM-to-vCPU ratio for memory-bound workloads.

    Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

    Microsoft Azure F4ams_v7 is a memory-intensive virtual machine from the Famsv7 family, powered by a 4.5 GHz AMD EPYC 9V45 processor. It features 4 dedicated physical cores, 32.0 GB of RAM (8.0 GB per core), and runs on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. The instance lacks local storage but supports Premium Storage. Benchmarks show top-tier single-core CPU performance and single-threaded compression speeds, while multi-core operations and memory bandwidth remain average. The high memory-to-vCPU ratio provides qualitative cost efficiency for memory-bound workloads that do not require high core counts. However, prompt processing for larger models is a performance bottleneck. This instance is suited for database operations, caching layers, and memory-intensive applications.

    Workload Profiles

    0.481Score
    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.
