Azure announces the general availability of the D and E
family VMs built on the new 5th Gen Intel® Xeon® Platinum 8537C (Emerald
Rapids) processor. These Intel-based VMs come with three different
memory-to-core ratios and offer options with and without local SSD across all
the new VMs – the General Purpose Dsv6, Dlsv6, Ddvs6, and Dldsv6 series and the
Memory Optimized Esv6 and Edsv6 series. In addition, there are constrained core
variants for Esv6 series which are ideal for workloads that require high data throughput
without a high number of vCPUs. There are 84 VM sizes in total, ranging from 2
to 192 vCPU and up to 1.8TB of memory
These VMs will offer:
- Up to 27% higher vCPU performance and 3x larger
L3 cache than the previous generation Intel Dl/D/Ev5 VMs
- Up to 192vCPU and >18GiB of memory
- Azure Boost which enables:
- Up to 400k IOPS and 12 GB/s remote storage
throughput
- Up to 200 Gbps VM network bandwidth
- 46% larger local SSD capacity and >3X read
IOPS
- NVMe interface for local and remote disks
- Enhanced security through Total Memory
Encryption (TME) technology
These VMs significantly extend the performance of Intel VM
options available for Azure customers.
These VMs will initially be available in various North
American, European, and Asian regions.
