    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An x86_64 virtual machine featuring dedicated AMD EPYC processing, balanced memory, and high-capacity local NVMe SSD storage for data-intensive workloads.

    Storage & DatabaseMemory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

    Microsoft Azure L8as_v3 is an x86_64 storage-optimized virtual machine powered by an AMD EPYC 7763 processor running at 3.525 GHz. It features 8 dedicated vCPUs, 64.0 GB of RAM, and a bundled 2002 GB local NVMe SSD. Operating under the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor, this instance delivers strong single-core CPU performance, though its uncached large-block memory bandwidth is relatively weak. With an average performance profile across database operations, Redis SET tasks, and static web serving, the L8as_v3 offers a resource-dense hardware configuration. It is highly suitable for database hosting, web serving, and workloads requiring substantial local NVMe storage and balanced memory capacity.

    Workload Profiles

    0.45Score
    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.
