    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An 8-core AMD EPYC virtual machine featuring high-frequency dedicated compute and integrated NVMe SSD storage for balanced general-purpose workloads.

    General PurposeStorage & DatabaseCompute Optimized

    Microsoft Azure F8ads_v7 is a general-purpose virtual machine from the Fadsv7 family, powered by an 8-core AMD EPYC 9V45 processor running at 4.5 GHz on the x86_64 architecture. It features 8 dedicated vCPUs, 32.0 GB of RAM, and a bundled 945 GB NVMe SSD, running on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. Benchmarks show top-tier single-core CPU performance, single-threaded compression, and small-model LLM text generation, while multi-core operations and memory bandwidth remain in the average tier. With a balanced 1:4 vCPU-to-RAM ratio and fast local storage, this instance provides qualitative cost efficiency for workloads that require high clock speeds and local disk performance. It is suited for database operations, web serving, and general-purpose applications.

    Workload Profiles

    0.74Score
    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.
