[How this works](https://rackcensus.com/transparency#referrals-heading) ## CPU | Version | Single-core | Multi-core | Result link | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Geekbench 7 | 1,276 | Skipped | [Geekbench Browser](https://browser.geekbench.com/v7/cpu/681782) | 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 | 1,43612th of 52 | Single-core only | | Navigation | 1,4899th of 52 | Single-core only | | HTML5 Browser | 1,17821st of 52 | Single-core only | | PDF Viewer | 1,38718th of 52 | Single-core only | | Photo Library | 1,16719th of 52 | Single-core only | | Clang | 1,19215th of 52 | Single-core only | | Text Processing | 1,08121st of 52 | Single-core only | | Asset Compression | 1,25815th of 52 | Single-core only | | HDR | 1,04621st of 52 | Single-core only | | Photo Editor | 1,25426th of 52 | Single-core only | | Ray Tracer | 1,34811th of 52 | Single-core only | | Structure from Motion | 1,40318th of 52 | Single-core only | | Game Physics | 1,32911th of 52 | Single-core only | | Video Encoder | 1,22416th of 52 | Single-core only | | Audio Encoder | 1,35614th of 52 | Single-core only | | Video Player | 1,37416th of 52 | Single-core only | Rank among the 52 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 | 37.2 MB/s (9,528 IOPS) | 37.3 MB/s (9,549 IOPS) | 74.5 MB/s (19,077 IOPS) | | 64K | 313.1 MB/s (5,009 IOPS) | 314.7 MB/s (5,035 IOPS) | 627.8 MB/s (10,044 IOPS) | | 512K | 381.4 MB/s (762 IOPS) | 401.6 MB/s (803 IOPS) | 783 MB/s (1,565 IOPS) | | 1M | 378.5 MB/s (378 IOPS) | 403.7 MB/s (403 IOPS) | 782.1 MB/s (781 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 | 1.07 Gbps | 1.07 Gbps | | Eranium, Amsterdam, NL (100G) | IPv4 | 1.01 Gbps | 1.02 Gbps | | Leaseweb, Singapore, SG (10G) | IPv4 | 717 Mbps | 900 Mbps | Public iperf3 servers vary in capacity and availability.
