      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A high frequency dual core server featuring an exceptional memory to vCPU ratio designed specifically for memory intensive single threaded processing workloads.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Microsoft Azure F8-2ams_v7 is an x86_64 memory-intensive virtual machine from the Famsv7 family, running on Microsoft Hyper-V. It features 2 dedicated vCPUs powered by an AMD EPYC 9V45 processor operating at 4.5 GHz, paired with 64.0 GB of RAM, resulting in a high 32.0 GB per core ratio. While it lacks local storage and GPUs, it delivers top-tier single-core performance, as demonstrated by its top 10% scores in single-core stress-ng and Geekbench tests. Conversely, multi-threaded tasks like software compilation and bzip3 decompression are weaker, landing in the bottom 25%. This server is highly cost-efficient for memory-heavy, low-concurrency workloads, offering an optimal balance for database operations, Redis caching, and single-threaded data processing without requiring excess vCPU provisioning.

      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.
