    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A storage-focused virtual machine combining high-frequency single-core Intel performance with fast local NVMe SSD storage and balanced memory capacity.

    Storage & DatabaseMemory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

    Microsoft Azure L2s_v4 is a storage and memory-optimized virtual machine powered by a dedicated Intel Xeon 8573C processor running at 4.2 GHz. Built on the x86_64 architecture, it provides 2 vCPUs from a single physical core, paired with 16.0 GB of RAM and a bundled 480 GB NVMe SSD. While single-core benchmarks are strong, evidenced by a Geekbench single-core score of 2138.0 and high single-threaded gzip compression throughput, multi-core performance and memory bandwidth are constrained by the single-core topology. This server is qualitatively cost-efficient for workloads requiring fast local storage and high single-thread performance rather than massive parallel processing. It is best suited for lightweight database operations, text processing, and low-concurrency web serving.

    Workload Profiles

    0.27Score
    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.
