    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A massive-scale memory-optimized platform delivering exceptional multi-core throughput and memory bandwidth for enterprise database and in-memory workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure M416s_v2 is a memory-optimized server from the MSv2 family, featuring 416 vCPUs (208 physical cores) powered by Intel Xeon 8280L processors running at 2.7 GHz. It is equipped with 5700.0 GB of RAM and 8389 GB of local storage, with no GPUs. Benchmarks indicate a significant performance tradeoff: single-core metrics are weak, placing in the bottom 25%, whereas multi-core performance and memory bandwidth rank in the top 10% globally. This includes a multi-core stress-ng score of 376,443.61 and cached memory bandwidth of 19,406.65 GB/sec. The server is highly optimized for massive in-memory databases, large-scale Redis deployments, and data warehousing, where its high memory density and parallel processing capabilities offset its lower single-threaded efficiency.

    Workload Profiles

    7.62Score
    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.
