    Server Description

    A memory-optimized x86_64 server featuring high-bandwidth memory and dedicated Intel Xeon processing for demanding database and enterprise workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure M128-64bds_v3 is an x86_64 memory-optimized server from the MBDSMediumMemoryv3 family, running on Microsoft Hyper-V. It features an Intel Xeon 8473C processor with 32 physical cores, 64 dedicated vCPUs at 4.0 GHz, and 1024.0 GB of RAM, yielding 16.0 GB per core. The server includes 410 GB of local storage and is Premium Storage capable. In benchmarks, it delivers top-tier memory bandwidth of 366.27 GB/sec and exceptional database performance, scoring 35053.55 in Passmark database operations. With hardware-accelerated instruction sets like AVX-512 and AMX, it is highly efficient for memory-intensive workloads. This server is optimized for large-scale databases, in-memory caching, and data-heavy enterprise applications.

    Workload Profiles

    4.11Score
    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.
