The difference E32-16ads_v5 and E32ads_v5

[PaKoDBA]

Hello! 

Can you tell me please what is the exact difference between E32-16ads_v5 and E32ads_v5?

As far as I see in the documentation the machines E32-16ads_v5 are basing on original size E32ads_v5 but has cut CPU's by half 
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/constrained-vcpu?tabs=family-E

What is the advance of choosing machine with half of processors instead of full? Is there any advantage of this option?

Looking at the prices machines are on the same base price level 1432,25 €

Ok I found in the document I provided... 🙂
This solution is provided for users wich have licensing based on vCPU's

"This licensing system means that a VM size with otherwise ideal specifications but an excessive vCPU count can cause a substantial increase in licensing costs. To help manage your costs, Azure offers predefined VM sizes with a lowered vCPU count to help to reduce the cost of software licensing, while maintaining the same memory, storage, and I/O bandwidth."

Have a great day!

Take this:

Standard is recommended tier
E – Optimised for in-memory hyper-threaded applications
32 – The number of vCPUs
16 – The actual number of vCPUs for the constrained vCPU capable size.
Reduces the cost of software licensing, while maintaining the same memory, storage, and I/O bandwidth.
a – AMD-based processor
d – Diskfull (local temp disk is present)
s – Premium Storage capable
v5 – version
