    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A memory-intensive virtual server featuring an exceptional 112 GB of RAM per core and integrated local SSD storage.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure M64-16ms is a memory-intensive server instance in the MS family, utilizing the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. It is configured with an Intel Xeon 8280M processor offering 16 dedicated vCPUs across 8 physical cores at 2.7 GHz, alongside a massive 1792.0 GB of RAM and 2097 GB of local SSD storage. While single-core benchmarks and single-threaded compression tasks perform in the bottom 10 percent, multi-core operations, memory bandwidth, and database operations achieve average performance. This server provides high qualitative cost efficiency for memory-bound workloads by offering 112.0 GB of RAM per core, allowing organizations to run large in-memory databases and caching systems without paying for unneeded compute resources. It is best suited for memory-heavy database operations and Redis caching, but is not recommended for compute-intensive or single-threaded workloads.

    Performance

    Workload Profiles

    0.59Score
    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.
