## CPU

| Version | Single-core | Multi-core | Result link |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Geekbench 7 | 587 | Skipped | [Geekbench Browser](https://browser.geekbench.com/v7/cpu/594955) |

Multi-core was skipped because Geekbench 7 needs about 4.2 GB of free memory to run 4 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

Rank among the 71 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.

## Memory, TLS and scheduler
