    Server Description

    An 8-vCPU storage-optimized instance featuring 1920 GB of local storage and high-frequency Intel Xeon processing for database workloads.

    Storage & DatabaseMemory Optimized

    Microsoft Azure L8s_v4 is an x86_64 storage-optimized virtual machine powered by an Intel Xeon 8573C processor running at 4.2 GHz. It features 8 dedicated vCPUs, 64.0 GB of RAM, and 1920 GB of bundled local storage. Operating on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor, this instance supports Premium Storage and advanced CPU instruction sets like AVX-512 and Intel AMX. Benchmarks reveal strong single-core performance, highlighted by a Geekbench single-core score of 2168.0 and single-threaded gzip compression of 31.37 GB/sec. Multi-core and memory bandwidth metrics remain in the average tier, with Redis SET operations reaching 11.48 million operations per second. Lacking a GPU, the instance is less suited for large-scale LLM generation but represents a highly efficient option for database operations, caching, and local storage-heavy workloads.

    Workload Profiles

    0.87Score
    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.
