Charts only use Geekbench 7. ### Geekbench 7 workloads | Workload | Single-core | Multi-core | | --- | --- | --- | | File Compression | 1,1615th of 9 | 1,2293rd of 4 | | Navigation | 1,4273rd of 9 | Single-core only | | HTML5 Browser | 1,1194th of 9 | Single-core only | | PDF Viewer | 1,2343rd of 9 | Single-core only | | Photo Library | 1,1023rd of 9 | 1,3853rd of 4 | | Clang | 1,2383rd of 9 | 1,5523rd of 4 | | Text Processing | 1,1663rd of 9 | 1,2003rd of 4 | | Asset Compression | 9247th of 9 | 1,2703rd of 4 | | HDR | 1,0075th of 9 | 1,2083rd of 4 | | Photo Editor | 1,1358th of 9 | 1,3934th of 4 | | Ray Tracer | 1,0798th of 9 | 1,5164th of 4 | | Structure from Motion | 1,2784th of 9 | Single-core only | | Game Physics | 1,1234th of 9 | Single-core only | | Video Encoder | 1,0885th of 9 | Single-core only | | Audio Encoder | 1,1227th of 9 | Single-core only | | Video Player | 1,1097th of 9 | Single-core only | Rank among the 9 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 | 264.4 MB/s (67,674 IOPS) | 265.1 MB/s (67,853 IOPS) | 529.4 MB/s (135,527 IOPS) | | 64K | 1.36 GB/s (22,247 IOPS) | 1.37 GB/s (22,364 IOPS) | 2.72 GB/s (44,611 IOPS) | | 512K | 1.2 GB/s (2,450 IOPS) | 1.26 GB/s (2,581 IOPS) | 2.46 GB/s (5,031 IOPS) | | 1M | 1.3 GB/s (1,330 IOPS) | 1.39 GB/s (1,418 IOPS) | 2.68 GB/s (2,748 IOPS) | fio random read and write, 50/50, run by YABS against the boot disk. ## Network ### IPv4 transfer speed Loading... | Target | Protocol | Send | Receive | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Clouvider, London, UK (10G) | IPv4 | 1.98 Gbps | 1.9 Gbps | | Leaseweb, NYC, NY, US (10G) | IPv4 | 1.64 Gbps | 1.59 Gbps | | Leaseweb, Singapore, SG (10G) | IPv4 | 1.16 Gbps | 1.23 Gbps | Public iperf3 servers vary in capacity and availability.
