    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An AMD-powered instance featuring dense local storage and high memory capacity optimized for database and caching workloads.

    Storage & DatabaseMemory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

    The Microsoft Azure L8as_v3 is an x86_64 virtual machine from the LASv3 family, powered by an AMD EPYC 7763 processor running at 3.525 GHz. It features 8 dedicated vCPUs, 64.0 GB of RAM, and 2002 GB of Premium Storage-capable local storage. Benchmarks show strong single-core CPU performance, though multi-core operations and large-block memory bandwidth are average to weak. With a high 1:8 vCPU-to-RAM ratio and substantial local storage, this instance is qualitatively cost-efficient for database operations, caching layers like Redis, and static web serving. It represents a balanced trade-off for workloads requiring high local storage capacity and memory density without needing top-tier multi-core compute or high-throughput memory bandwidth.

    Workload Profiles

    0.459Score
    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.
