    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A memory-intensive virtual machine featuring high memory-to-core density and top-tier single-threaded performance for caching and database workloads.

    Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

    Microsoft Azure F8-2ams_v7 is a memory-optimized virtual machine in the Famsv7 family, running on Microsoft Hyper-V. It features 2 dedicated x86_64 vCPUs powered by an AMD EPYC 9V45 processor clocked at 4.5 GHz, paired with 64.0 GB of RAM, providing an exceptional 32.0 GB of memory per core. The server has no local storage but is Premium Storage capable, and contains no GPUs. Benchmarks reveal top-tier single-core performance, with stress-ng single-core and single-threaded gzip compression ranking in the top 10%. However, multi-core performance is average, and multi-threaded bzip3 decompression is weak due to the 2-vCPU limit. This instance is highly cost-efficient for memory-intensive, low-compute workloads such as caching layers, in-memory databases, and lightweight data processing.

    Workload Profiles

    0.32Score
    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.
