    Server Description

    A high-capacity memory-optimized platform with local storage, engineered for demanding in-memory databases and data-intensive enterprise workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    The Microsoft Azure M64bds_1_v3 is a memory-optimized virtual machine from the MBDSMediumMemoryv3 family, powered by a 64-vCPU Intel Xeon 8473C processor running at 4.0 GHz. It features 1397.0 GB of RAM, providing 21.83 GB of memory per core, alongside 3072 GB of local storage. Operating on Microsoft Hyper-V, this instance delivers strong memory bandwidth, reaching 4519.69 GB/sec for cached reads, and robust database performance, as evidenced by 70.71 million operations per second in Redis SET benchmarks. The processor supports advanced vector and matrix extensions (AVX-512 and AMX) for accelerated mathematical operations. While its CPU-based architecture handles prompt processing efficiently, it exhibits lower throughput for large-scale LLM text generation due to the absence of a GPU. This server is highly suited for memory-intensive enterprise databases, in-memory analytics, and large-scale data processing workloads.

    Workload Profiles

    3.39Score
    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.
