Single-core needs much less, so it still ran. Scores from different Geekbench versions aren't comparable with each other. Charts only use Geekbench 7. ### Geekbench 7 workloads | Workload | Single-core | Multi-core | | --- | --- | --- | | File Compression | 2,2525th of 110 | Single-core only | | Navigation | 1,37741st of 110 | Single-core only | | HTML5 Browser | 1,90612th of 110 | Single-core only | | PDF Viewer | 2,21110th of 110 | Single-core only | | Photo Library | 2,4285th of 110 | Single-core only | | Clang | 1,65511th of 110 | Single-core only | | Text Processing | 1,9439th of 110 | Single-core only | | Asset Compression | 2,3138th of 110 | Single-core only | | HDR | 2,1578th of 110 | Single-core only | | Photo Editor | 2,9276th of 110 | Single-core only | | Ray Tracer | 1,51320th of 110 | Single-core only | | Structure from Motion | 2,4687th of 110 | Single-core only | | Game Physics | 1,68415th of 110 | Single-core only | | Video Encoder | 1,68913th of 110 | Single-core only | | Audio Encoder | 2,3885th of 110 | Single-core only | | Video Player | 2,6595th of 110 | Single-core only | Rank among the 110 runs with Geekbench 7 workload scores. Bars are relative to the best run. Geekbench doesn't run every workload multi-core, so some rows only have a single-core score. ## Disk | Block size | Read | Write | Total | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 4K | 49.4 MB/s (12,638 IOPS) | 49.4 MB/s (12,659 IOPS) | 98.8 MB/s (25,297 IOPS) | | 64K | 398.1 MB/s (6,369 IOPS) | 400.2 MB/s (6,403 IOPS) | 798.3 MB/s (12,772 IOPS) | | 512K | 381.9 MB/s (763 IOPS) | 402.2 MB/s (804 IOPS) | 784.1 MB/s (1,567 IOPS) | | 1M | 379.6 MB/s (379 IOPS) | 404.9 MB/s (404 IOPS) | 784.5 MB/s (783 IOPS) | fio random read and write, 50/50, run by YABS against the boot disk. ## Network ### IPv4 transfer speed Loading... | Target | Protocol | Send | Receive | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Leaseweb, NYC, NY, US (10G) | IPv4 | 1.06 Gbps | 1.06 Gbps | | Eranium, Amsterdam, NL (100G) | IPv4 | 947 Mbps | 1.01 Gbps | | Leaseweb, Singapore, SG (10G) | IPv4 | 713 Mbps | 922 Mbps | Public iperf3 servers vary in capacity and availability.
