## 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 | 26.2 GB/s | 3 | 5.53% |
| Scale higher is better | 20 GB/s | 3 | 1.99% |
| Add higher is better | 22.3 GB/s | 3 | 3.99% |
| Triad higher is better | 22.8 GB/s | 3 | 5.05% |

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

### TLS and crypto (OpenSSL)

| ChaCha20-Poly1305 higher is better | 1.78 GB/s | 3 | 4.03% |

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 | 6.04 ms | 3 | 4.13% |
| Requests per second, 90th percentile higher is better | 168/s | 3 | 2.4% |
| Request latency, 99.9th percentile lower is better | 12.4 ms | 3 | 6.18% |
| Requests per second, average higher is better | 160/s | 3 | 4.1% |

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

## Network

### IPv4 transfer speed

Loading...

| Target | Protocol | Send | Receive |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Clouvider, London, UK (10G) | IPv4 | 1.96 Gbps | 1.84 Gbps |
| Eranium, Amsterdam, NL (100G) | IPv4 | 2.01 Gbps | 1.88 Gbps |
