In 2016-05-07, today's connected operation of Azure China, officially announced the CPU for the DV2 series of Azure VMs, officially in the domestic commercial.

The VMs are divided into D1 to D14, altogether 8 kinds. As the following table:

VM Size	CPU Core	Ram	OS Disk (Windows)	Tem Disk (SSD)	Attach Disk	MAX IOPS
Standard_d1	1	3.5GB	127GB	50GB	2	2x500
Standard_d2	2	7GB	127GB	100GB	4	4x500
Standard_d3	4	14GB	127GB	200GB	8	8x500
Standard_d4	8	28GB	127GB	400GB	16	16x500
Standard_d11	2	14GB	127GB	100GB	4	4x500
Standard_d12	4	28GB	127GB	200GB	8	8x500
Standard_d13	8	56GB	127GB	400GB	16	16x500
Standard_d14	16	112GB	127GB	800GB	32	32x500

　　

　　The DV2 series of Vm,cpu,ram and local temporary SSD disk space is the same as the D series. As follows:

　　

　　The DV2 series of VMS, compared to the D-series, is mainly on the CPU.

The DV2 series of CPUs, the model is the Intel Xeon e5-2673 V3 (Haswell architecture ), the default frequency is 2.4G.

At the same time, using the Interl Turbo Boost Technology (turbo-boost technology), the highest frequency can reach 3.2G.

　　

　The CPUs of the DV2 series VMs (Intel Xeon e5-2673 V3) are faster e5-2660 than the CPUs of the D-series VMs (Interl Xeon 35%).

For scenarios with higher performance CPU computing, it is recommended that you use Azure D-series VMS, or DV2 series VMs.

The following are the results of the SUPERPI 1 million calculations for the D-series VMs (CPU Intel Xeon e5-2660):

17.78 seconds

　　

　　The following are the Superpi 1 million calculations for the DV2 series VMS (CPU Intel Xeon e5-2670 V3):

14.36 seconds
