    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A high-capacity memory-optimized server featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processing, massive local storage, and top-tier database throughput for enterprise workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & DatabaseCompute Optimized

    Microsoft Azure FX96mds_v2 is a memory-optimized virtual machine featuring 96 vCPUs and 1832.0 GB of RAM, powered by a dedicated Intel Xeon 8573C processor running at 4.2 GHz. Designed for memory-intensive workloads, it includes 5669 GB of local storage and supports Premium Storage. Benchmarks show top-tier capabilities, including a PassMark CPU score of 103610.4, a Redis SET throughput of 130.32 million operations per second, and a small-block memory read bandwidth of 7620.93 GB/sec. The hardware supports advanced instruction sets like AVX-512 and AMX, enabling strong performance in medium-sized LLM inference tasks. While multi-core and memory bandwidth performance are exceptional, single-core performance is moderate. This instance is highly suited for large-scale databases, in-memory caching, and high-throughput data processing.

    Workload Profiles

    5.54Score
    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.
