Server Description
A memory-optimized server featuring high-bandwidth RAM, dedicated Intel Xeon processing, and local storage for data-intensive enterprise workloads.
Memory OptimizedStorage & DatabaseGeneral Purpose
Microsoft Azure M48bds_v3 is a memory-optimized virtual machine from the MBDSMediumMemoryv3 family, powered by a dedicated 4.0 GHz Intel Xeon 8473C processor. Operating on the x86_64 architecture, it features 48 vCPUs, 384.0 GB of RAM, and 410 GB of local storage. The server delivers strong memory bandwidth and top-tier performance in text and image processing, placing in the top 10% of benchmarks. It also shows strong results in software compilation, database operations, and medium-model LLM text generation. While single-core and multi-core raw compute benchmarks perform at an average level, the high memory-to-vCPU ratio of 8.0 GB per core and Premium Storage capability make this instance highly efficient for memory-intensive workloads, in-memory databases, and data-heavy enterprise applications.
