How many CPU sockets do Fv2 series VMs contain ?

Question

Hello,

I was wondering if there was any documentation about how many physical cores and how many CPU sockets do every instance has compared to their vCPUs. In particular, I would be interested to know about the Fv2 series.

Thank you

Answer 1

@Jeremy Lixandre The Fv2-series runs on the Intel® Xeon® Platinum 8272CL (Cascade Lake) processors and Intel® Xeon® Platinum 8168 (Skylake) processors. It features a sustained all core Turbo clock speed of 3.4 GHz and a maximum single-core turbo frequency of 3.7 GHz. Intel® AVX-512 instructions are new on Intel Scalable Processors. These instructions provide up to a 2X performance boost to vector processing workloads on both single and double precision floating point operations. In other words, they're really fast for any computational workload.

As for number of vcpu they can go upto 72 as well.

You can refer to this doc and this as well for more information.

Hope it helps!!!

Cores: half of vCPUs.
Sockets: Up to two.
