CPU

Version Single-core Multi-core
Geekbench 7 1,266 Skipped Geekbench Browser

Multi-core was skipped because Geekbench 7 needs about 2.1 GB of free memory to run 1 thread, and this server didn't have that much. 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.

Rank among the 99 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.
