## CPU

| Version | Single-core | Multi-core | Result link |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Geekbench 7 | 2,326 | Skipped | [Geekbench Browser](https://browser.geekbench.com/v7/cpu/709166) |

Multi-core was skipped because Geekbench 7 needs about 3.1 GB of free memory to run 2 threads, 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 85 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.

## Network

### IPv4 transfer speed

Loading...

| Target | Protocol | Send | Receive |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Leaseweb, NYC, NY, US (10G) | IPv4 | 1.96 Gbps | 9.25 Gbps |
| Eranium, Amsterdam, NL (100G) | IPv4 | 1.45 Gbps | 2.53 Gbps |
| Leaseweb, Singapore, SG (10G) | IPv4 | 675 Mbps | 961 Mbps |

Public iperf3 servers vary in capacity and availability. Compare a target only with itself over time.
