Price / Performance comparison
Below you can see the comparison chart of all VM types in the West US 2 region, which is the cheapest region with the greatest amount of VMs. The benchmark results were collected from official Azure documentation and are available here. The tests were done using CoreMark utility on Linux machines with Ubuntu 18.04.
Some VM types have a grey color, meaning that they are Burstable VMs. They should be treated separately because they cannot constantly perform on that level of performance. Please pay attention to the fact that there could be different results in different regions due to differences in regional pricing. The latest update was at September 23, 2023 at 11:50 AM UTC
