| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Geekbench 7 | 1,514 | 5,451 | [Geekbench Browser](https://browser.geekbench.com/v7/cpu/706372) |

Scores from different Geekbench versions aren't comparable with each other. Charts only use Geekbench 7.

## Network

### IPv4 transfer speed

Loading...

| Target | Protocol | Send | Receive |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Eranium, Amsterdam, NL (100G) | IPv4 | 654 Mbps | 9.11 Gbps |
| Leaseweb, NYC, NY, US (10G) | IPv4 | 625 Mbps | 3.14 Gbps |
| Leaseweb, Singapore, SG (10G) | IPv4 | 608 Mbps | 1.48 Gbps |

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