Atomic Networks Netherlands AMD Ryzen 7950X CPUs Premium VPS Test and Review
We looked closely at the Atomic Networks Netherlands high-end VPS server featuring the latest and most powerful AMD Ryzen 9 7950X 16-core Processor. This server comes with a solid setup: it has 2 CPU cores, 8 GB of memory, 240 GB of fast SSD storage, a swift 1 Gbps internet connection, and no data caps. Plus, it includes both an IPv4 and IPv6 address.
For our review, we ran several tests to judge performance. We started with basic benchmarks, network performance tests, and latency checks to measure how quickly it responds. We also checked whether it could access media content from different regions, evaluated the quality of its connection with CloudFlare’s service, and used tools like PageSpeed Insights and GTmetrix to test how it might handle web traffic.

Conclusion
The server demonstrated strong and consistent input/output (I/O) speeds in our Basic Bench tests, averaging 1.1 GB/s over three runs. The server’s network prowess was evident with high upload and download speeds experienced across various global locations in Speedtest.net benchmarks, although its performance was notably reduced in Asian cities. The significant variance in latency, ranging from an excellent 0.23 ms up to 346.02 ms, highlighted the geographical influence on response times.
Further scrutiny with Yabs Performance Bench revealed impressive disk speeds across various file sizes and types, ensuring that both read and write operations are swift and reliable. The Geekbench 6 tests confirmed powerful single and multi-core performance, indicative of robust processing capabilities suitable for intensive tasks. Parallel tests run with UnixBench showed considerably higher performance when the server utilized both CPUs simultaneously, showcasing excellent scalability under load.
The last set of assessments focused on regional access, where the server could unlock various media services in different regions, suggesting strong potential for content delivery applications. However, services like HotStar, Viu.com, and Spotify registration remained inaccessible, flagging potential limitations for certain geographical areas.
In conclusion, the Atomic Networks Netherlands VPS server demonstrated formidable processing power and high-speed network performance with some regional variations. The substantial storage speed and capacity and the server’s ability to pass several stringent media unlock tests make it a suitable candidate for demanding web applications and content delivery tasks. While it shows some limitations in accessing specific regional services, its performance is generally top-notch for diverse web hosting needs.
