      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A high-frequency, memory-intensive virtual machine engineered for demanding database operations, in-memory caching, and heavy multi-core computational workloads.

      Memory OptimizedCompute OptimizedStorage & Database

      Microsoft Azure FX96ms_v2 is a memory-intensive virtual machine featuring 96 dedicated vCPUs and 48 physical cores powered by an Intel Xeon 8573C processor running at 4.2 GHz. Built on the x86_64 architecture under Microsoft Hyper-V, this instance is equipped with 1832.0 GB of RAM, providing a high memory-to-core ratio of 19.08 GB. While it lacks local storage and GPUs, it is premium storage capable. Benchmarks indicate top-tier performance, particularly in memory bandwidth, database operations, and multi-core CPU execution, supported by advanced instruction sets like AVX-512 and AMX. The FX96ms_v2 is engineered for demanding, memory-heavy enterprise workloads, making it highly suitable for large-scale database management, in-memory data structures, and complex analytical processing.

      Workload Profiles

      5.8Score
      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.
