    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A high-frequency, memory-intensive virtual server featuring massive RAM capacity and advanced matrix extensions for demanding enterprise database workloads.

    Memory OptimizedCompute Optimized

    Microsoft Azure FX96-48ms_v2 is a memory-optimized virtual machine powered by a dedicated 4.2 GHz Intel Xeon 8573C processor. Operating on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor, it features 48 vCPUs, 24 physical cores, and a substantial 1832.0 GB of RAM, providing 38.17 GB of memory per core. The processor includes a 260 MB L3 cache and supports advanced instruction sets like AVX-512 and Intel AMX. While it lacks local storage and dedicated GPUs, it is premium storage capable. Benchmarks highlight top-tier single-core performance and strong memory bandwidth, with uncached large-block reads reaching 332.13 GB/sec and Redis SET operations at 74.96 million operations per second. This server is optimized for memory-intensive databases, large-scale in-memory data processing, and enterprise workloads requiring high single-core compute speeds.

    Workload Profiles

    3.79Score
    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.
