## 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 | 24.3 GB/s | 3 | 3.17% |
| Scale higher is better | 15.8 GB/s | 3 | 3.68% |
| Add higher is better | 17.8 GB/s | 3 | 2.55% |
| Triad higher is better | 18.4 GB/s | 3 | 2.4% |

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

### TLS and crypto (OpenSSL)

| Test | Result | Runs | Spread |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| RSA 4096 signs higher is better | 202/s | 3 | 2.76% |
| RSA 4096 verifies higher is better | 13,109/s | 3 | 6.73% |
| SHA-256 higher is better | 560 MB/s | 3 | 5.38% |
| AES-256-GCM higher is better | 3.09 GB/s | 3 | 2.23% |
| ChaCha20-Poly1305 higher is better | 1.58 GB/s | 3 | 3.65% |

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 | 4.62 ms | 3 | 0.2% |
| Requests per second, 90th percentile higher is better | 215/s | 3 | 1.17% |
| Request latency, 99.9th percentile lower is better | 9.94 ms | 3 | 3.71% |
| Requests per second, average higher is better | 207/s | 3 | 0.578% |

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

## Disk

## Network

### IPv4 transfer speed

Loading...

| Target | Protocol | Send | Receive |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Clouvider, London, UK (10G) | IPv4 | 1.89 Gbps | 1.76 Gbps |
| Eranium, Amsterdam, NL (100G) | IPv4 | 1.82 Gbps | 1.79 Gbps |
