    Server Description

    A high-density memory-optimized server featuring 64 vCPUs, 1.39 TB of RAM, and 3 TB of local storage for demanding database workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure M64bds_1_v3 is a memory-optimized virtual machine powered by a 64-vCPU Intel Xeon 8473C processor running at 4.0 GHz. It features 1397.0 GB of RAM, 3072 GB of local storage, and is Premium Storage capable. Operating on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor, this instance delivers strong memory bandwidth, reaching 4519.69 GB/sec for cached reads, and strong database performance, as evidenced by 70.71 million Redis SET operations per second. While its CPU capabilities are enhanced by AVX-512 and AMX extensions, the lack of a GPU limits its utility for large-scale LLM text generation. Qualitatively, the server offers high resource density for memory-bound tasks, making it an excellent fit for large-scale databases, in-memory caches, and enterprise applications requiring substantial RAM and local storage.

    Workload Profiles

    3.36Score
    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.
