    Server Description

    A memory-optimized x86_64 server featuring dedicated high-frequency Intel Xeon processors and 256 GB of RAM for demanding enterprise workloads.

    Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

    Microsoft Azure M32bs_v3 is an x86_64 memory-optimized server from the MBSMediumMemoryv3 family, featuring 32 dedicated vCPUs and 16 physical Intel Xeon 8473C cores running at 4.0 GHz. It is equipped with 256.0 GB of RAM, yielding 8.0 GB per vCPU, and has a 105 MB L3 cache. The server lacks local storage and GPUs, relying on Premium Storage block storage. In benchmarks, the M32bs_v3 delivers top-tier single-core performance and strong multi-threaded capabilities, including high static web serving throughput and fast bzip3 decompression. However, it shows limitations in large-scale LLM inference. This configuration is highly suitable for memory-intensive workloads, database operations, and web serving applications.

    Workload Profiles

    2.39Score
    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.
