    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A memory-dense virtual server combining top-tier single-core AMD EPYC performance with a bundled NVMe SSD for memory-intensive workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & DatabaseGeneral Purpose

    Microsoft Azure F8-2amds_v7 is an x86_64 memory-optimized server powered by a dedicated AMD EPYC 9V45 processor running at 4.5 GHz on Microsoft Hyper-V. It features 2 physical cores, 2 vCPUs, 64.0 GB of RAM, and a bundled 945 GB NVMe SSD. The server exhibits top-tier single-core performance, ranking in the top 10% for stress-ng single-core and Geekbench single-core benchmarks. However, multi-threaded scaling is a notable tradeoff, with multi-threaded bzip3 decompression and static web serving throughput falling into the bottom 25%. Caching and memory bandwidth benchmarks remain average, with Redis SET operations reaching 6.72 million operations per second. This resource profile is qualitatively cost-efficient for memory-dense, single-threaded workloads, lightweight database operations, and text processing, but is poorly suited for highly parallelized compute tasks or large-scale LLM inference.

    Workload Profiles

    0.31Score
    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.
