CPU

Geekbench was skipped because this plan has less than 2 GB of RAM, which isn't enough for Geekbench 7 to run without swap.

Memory, TLS and scheduler

Memory bandwidth (STREAM)

Test Result Runs Spread
Copy higher is better 15.2 GB/s 3 1.36%
Scale higher is better 10.6 GB/s 3 3.05%
Add higher is better 12 GB/s 3 1.26%
Triad higher is better 12.1 GB/s 3 4.34%
