    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An AMD-powered, memory-intensive server featuring dedicated cores, high-speed local NVMe storage, and exceptional single-threaded performance.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure F8amds_v7 is an x86_64 server featuring an AMD EPYC 9V45 processor with 8 dedicated physical cores and 8 vCPUs running at 4.5 GHz. It is configured with 64.0 GB of memory, providing 8.0 GB per core, and includes a 945 GB local NVMe SSD. While single-core benchmarks like stress-ng, gzip compression, and bzip3 decompression rank in the top 10%, multi-core performance and memory bandwidth remain in the average middle 50% tier. The server demonstrates strong text generation speeds for small 135M language models but performs poorly on larger 70B models. Qualitatively, the instance provides high memory and storage density relative to its vCPU count, making it a viable option for memory-intensive workloads. It is best suited for database hosting, caching, web serving, and single-threaded processing tasks where local high-speed storage and memory capacity are prioritized over massive multi-core compute.

    Performance

    Workload Profiles

    0.76Score
    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.
