[How this works](https://rackcensus.com/transparency#referrals-heading) ## CPU | Version | Single-core | Multi-core | Result link | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Geekbench 7 | 1,073 | Skipped | [Geekbench Browser](https://browser.geekbench.com/v7/cpu/698244) | 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. ### Geekbench 7 workloads | Workload | Single-core | Multi-core | | --- | --- | --- | | File Compression | 1,17030th of 64 | Single-core only | | Navigation | 1,19235th of 64 | Single-core only | | HTML5 Browser | 96542nd of 64 | Single-core only | | PDF Viewer | 1,18732nd of 64 | Single-core only | | Photo Library | 1,00631st of 64 | Single-core only | | Clang | 94535th of 64 | Single-core only | | Text Processing | 93938th of 64 | Single-core only | | Asset Compression | 1,07932nd of 64 | Single-core only | | HDR | 92634th of 64 | Single-core only | | Photo Editor | 1,20531st of 64 | Single-core only | | Ray Tracer | 1,02841st of 64 | Single-core only | | Structure from Motion | 1,16137th of 64 | Single-core only | | Game Physics | 1,12230th of 64 | Single-core only | | Video Encoder | 1,01637th of 64 | Single-core only | | Audio Encoder | 1,16334th of 64 | Single-core only | | Video Player | 1,14334th of 64 | Single-core only | Rank among the 64 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 | 99.8 MB/s (25,543 IOPS) | 100 MB/s (25,611 IOPS) | 199.8 MB/s (51,154 IOPS) | | 64K | 573.8 MB/s (9,180 IOPS) | 576.8 MB/s (9,228 IOPS) | 1.12 GB/s (18,408 IOPS) | | 512K | 410.1 MB/s (820 IOPS) | 431.9 MB/s (863 IOPS) | 841.9 MB/s (1,683 IOPS) | | 1M | 140.9 MB/s (140 IOPS) | 150.3 MB/s (150 IOPS) | 291.3 MB/s (290 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 | 2.01 Gbps | 1.89 Gbps | | Eranium, Amsterdam, NL (100G) | IPv4 | 1.86 Gbps | 1.79 Gbps | | Leaseweb, Singapore, SG (10G) | IPv4 | 817 Mbps | 819 Mbps | Public iperf3 servers vary in capacity and availability.
