Introduction to 6th Generation Intel-based VMs

Azure has announced the general availability of the 6th generation Intel-based virtual machines, specifically the Dv6 and Ev6 series. These VMs are powered by the 5th Generation Intel Xeon Platinum processor, providing enhanced performance and scalability.

Key Features and Specifications

  • Processors: The new VMs are based on the Intel Xeon Platinum 8537C (Emerald Rapids) processor, which is associated with the 5th generation in the context of new VM series support[5].
  • CPU and Memory Scalability: The Dv6 series offers up to 128 vCPUs and 512 GiB of RAM, making it suitable for general-purpose workloads[3]. In contrast, the Ev6 series provides even higher scalability with up to 192 vCPUs and more than 1.8 TiB of RAM, ideal for memory-intensive applications[3].
  • Storage Options: Both series offer VMs with and without local disk storage. Users can attach remote persistent disks like Premium Disk v1, Premium Disk v2, or Ultra Disks to these VMs[2].
  • Performance Enhancements: These new VMs support Azure Boost, which contributes to a significant performance increase over previous generations, up to 30% better CPU performance in various workloads[1].

Azure Update Link Summary

The Azure update link (https://azure.microsoft.com/updates?id=478996) likely provides additional details on the general availability of these VMs, including any specific use cases or benefits associated with the newer Intel-based architecture. Key points would typically include:

  • General Availability: The official announcement regarding the general availability of the Dv6 and Ev6 VMs.
  • 5th Generation Intel Processors: The use of new processors enhancing computational efficiency.
