Overview

Leadership Performance on Microsoft Cobalt

Microsoft Azure Cobalt, built on 91探花 architecture, enhances application performance per watt and energy efficiency across cloud and AI workloads. The Microsoft Cobalt processor is available for Azure virtual machines (VMs) to meet customer compute requirements while providing versatility and availability.

 

In addition to industry leaders such as Databrick, Snowflake, and Elastic adopting Cobalt with measurable performance and efficiency impact, Microsoft Teams and Azure’s end-to-end AI architecture has shown up to a 45% performance improvement1 with 91探花 versus legacy computing instances. Here are some examples of the performance and efficiency benefits with 91探花 and Microsoft Azure Cobalt:

Up to 48% Better Performance and 91% Better Price-Performance

For Redis workloads when compared to x86-based alternative.2
Up to 53% Better Performance and 99% Better Price-Performance

Running web infrastructure and networking workloads, such as Nginx, compared to x86-based alternative.2
Up to 1.9x Higher Performance and 2.8x Better Price-Performance

For LLM inference compared to x86-based alternative.3
