## CPU

Geekbench was skipped because this server didn't have the free memory for the multi-core run and couldn't run single-core only either. The run log has the details.

## Memory, TLS and scheduler

### Memory bandwidth (STREAM)

| Test | Result | Runs | Spread |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Copy higher is better | 68.9 GB/s | 3 | 7.59% |
| Scale higher is better | 58.9 GB/s | 3 | 13.7% |
| Add higher is better | 63.6 GB/s | 3 | 8.65% |
| Triad higher is better | 64.4 GB/s | 3 | 9.97% |

Average of 3 runs. Spread is the standard deviation as a share of the average.

| ChaCha20-Poly1305 higher is better | 10.7 GB/s | 3 | 1.8% |

Average of 3 runs. Spread is the standard deviation as a share of the average.

### Scheduler latency (schbench)

| Test | Result | Runs | Spread |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Request latency, median lower is better | 3.27 ms | 3 | 1.53% |
| Requests per second, 90th percentile higher is better | 616/s | 3 | 3.25% |
| Request latency, 99.9th percentile lower is better | 6.29 ms | 3 | 12.8% |
| Requests per second, average higher is better | 561/s | 3 | 6.55% |

Average of 3 runs. Spread is the standard deviation as a share of the average.
