    Server Description

    A high-density storage and memory-optimized platform featuring ninety-six vCPUs and twenty-three terabytes of local capacity for demanding database workloads.

    Storage & DatabaseMemory OptimizedCompute Optimized

    Microsoft Azure L96s_v4 is an x86_64 server in the Lsv4 family, powered by a 96-vCPU Intel Xeon 8573C processor running at 4.2 GHz with 260 MB of L3 cache. It features 768.0 GB of RAM and 23038 GB of local storage, with no integrated GPUs. Benchmarks show top 10% tier performance in multi-core Geekbench tests, image processing, and static web serving throughput, alongside top 25% tier memory bandwidth. While single-core CPU performance sits in the middle 50% tier, its multi-threaded capabilities and massive local storage capacity make it highly efficient for large-scale databases, Redis deployments, and memory-intensive enterprise applications. The hardware supports advanced vector and matrix extensions, enabling efficient local data processing and medium-scale LLM inference without requiring dedicated GPU hardware.

    Workload Profiles

    4.41Score
    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.
