Azure Cobalt 100 is Microsoft’s first-generation, in-house Arm-based processor built on Arm Neoverse N2. It is a 64-bit CPU that targets cloud-native, scale-out Linux workloads such as web and application servers, data analytics, open-source databases, and caching, delivering strong performance and energy efficiency. Running at 3.4 GHz, Cobalt 100 allocates a dedicated physical core for each vCPU to provide consistent, predictable performance.

## Metrics explained

-
- ns/op: nanoseconds per operation (lower is better)

- B/op: bytes allocated per operation (lower is better)
159

- allocs/op: number of heap allocations per operation (lower is better)
157

The metrics reported by go test -bench include ns/op, which measures nanoseconds per operation and reflects latency where lower values are better, B/op, which shows the number of bytes allocated per operation and helps identify memory efficiency, and allocs/op, which indicates the number of heap allocations per operation and highlights how often memory is being allocated, with lower values preferred in all cases.
