    Server Description

    A high-density, memory-optimized virtual machine featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors and local SSD storage for demanding enterprise database workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & DatabaseCompute Optimized

    Microsoft Azure M64bds_v3 is a memory-optimized virtual machine from the MBDSMediumMemoryv3 family, running on Microsoft Hyper-V. It features 64 dedicated vCPUs powered by an Intel Xeon 8473C processor clocked at 4.0 GHz, paired with 512.0 GB of RAM and a bundled 410 GB local SSD. The hardware architecture supports advanced vector and matrix extensions, driving strong benchmark results, including a Passmark CPU score of 67019.35 and a Geekbench multi-core score of 19901.0. Memory performance is robust, with uncached large-block read bandwidth reaching 217.42 GB/sec. This instance delivers high resource density and qualitative cost efficiency for memory-heavy applications. It is highly suited for enterprise databases, Redis caching layers, software compilation, and CPU-based machine learning inference.

    Workload Profiles

    3.4Score
    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.
