    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A high-density, memory-optimized platform featuring massive multi-core processing power and 7.6 TB of RAM for enterprise-scale database workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure M416s_8_v2 is an x86_64 memory-optimized server from the MSv2 family, powered by Intel Xeon 8280L processors. It features 416 dedicated vCPUs, 7600.0 GB of RAM, and 4194 GB of local SSD storage. Running on Microsoft Hyper-V, this instance delivers top-tier multi-core CPU performance and exceptional memory bandwidth, though single-core performance is weak. It is designed for massive parallel workloads, achieving top-tier results in multi-threaded decompression, Passmark CPU tests, and Redis SET operations. This high-density hardware profile is optimized for large-scale in-memory databases, heavy enterprise workloads, and data-intensive applications requiring massive memory capacity.

    Workload Profiles

    8.8Score
    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.
