      Server Description

      A memory-optimized x86_64 platform featuring high memory bandwidth, Intel AMX acceleration, and dedicated processing for enterprise database workloads.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Microsoft Azure M48bs_v3 is an x86_64 server in the MBSMediumMemoryv3 family, powered by a dedicated 4.0 GHz Intel Xeon 8473C processor with 24 physical cores and 48 vCPUs. It features 384.0 GB of RAM, yielding 8.0 GB of memory per vCPU, and contains no local storage, relying instead on premium block storage. The processor supports Intel AMX and AVX-512 instruction sets. In benchmarks, the server exhibits strong performance in memory bandwidth, image processing, and medium-sized LLM inference, though its single-core stress-ng performance sits in the middle 50%. Lacking local storage and GPUs, it trades off local disk I/O for high memory density and strong multi-core processing. The M48bs_v3 is suited for memory-intensive databases, enterprise applications, software compilation, and vector-based mathematical workloads.

      Workload Profiles

      3Score
      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.
