## CPU

| Version | Single-core | Multi-core | Result link |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Geekbench 7 | 944 | 3,362 | [Geekbench Browser](https://browser.geekbench.com/v7/cpu/591319) |

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

## Memory, TLS and scheduler

### Memory bandwidth (STREAM)

| Test | Result | Runs | Spread |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Copy higher is better | 68.9 GB/s | 3 | 4.98% |
| Scale higher is better | 66.8 GB/s | 3 | 3.28% |
| Add higher is better | 66 GB/s | 3 | 10.2% |
| Triad higher is better | 67.5 GB/s | 3 | 2.59% |

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 | 196/s | 3 | 0.308% |
| RSA 4096 verifies higher is better | 16,016/s | 3 | 0.286% |
| SHA-256 higher is better | 2.9 GB/s | 3 | 1.22% |
| AES-256-GCM higher is better | 9.38 GB/s | 3 | 0.793% |
| ChaCha20-Poly1305 higher is better | 3.48 GB/s | 3 | 0.111% |

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 | 14.9 ms | 3 | 0.124% |
| Requests per second, 90th percentile higher is better | 265/s | 3 | 0.435% |
| Request latency, 99.9th percentile lower is better | 34.3 ms | 3 | 12.6% |
| Requests per second, average higher is better | 264/s | 3 | 0.468% |

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 | 646 Mbps | 7.97 Gbps |
| Eranium, Amsterdam, NL (100G) | IPv4 | 648 Mbps | 10.8 Gbps |
