F-series and FS-series virtual machines
F-series is based on the 2.4 GHz Intel Xeon® E5-2673 v3 (Haswell) processor, which can achieve clock speeds as high as 3.1 GHz. This is the same CPU performance as the Dv2-series of VMs.
The F-series VMs are an excellent choice for workloads that demand faster CPUs but do not need as much memory or local SSD per CPU core. Workloads such as analytics, gaming servers, web servers, and batch processing will benefit from the value of the F-series.
Beginning with F2 or FS2 you will have two network cards within the virtual machine.
The following performance levels are available with F-series VMs:
