MVPS United Kingdom Intel Xeon Gold 6148 High Performance Cloud KVM VPS Test and Review
This time, we will check out the MVPS United Kingdom High-Performance Cloud KVM VPS. This server runs on an Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 6148 CPU @ 2.40GHz, and it’s set up with 2 CPU cores, 4 GB of RAM, 50 GB of NVMe SSD storage, a 1 Gbps internet port, 5 TB of traffic, and one IPv4 address.
Our review will cover many tests to see how well it performs. We’ll run the Basic Benchmark, Yabs, and Unix Benchmark to see how fast and efficient it is. We’re also looking into its connection speed at different locations with the Global Node Test and how quickly it responds to the Global Ping Test.
To check out media access, we’ll use The Media Unlock Test. We’ll explore connection quality with the CloudFlare Internet Test and see how well it handles web performance with tools like PageSpeed Insights and GTmetrix.

Conclusion
The server’s I/O speed results were notably poor, averaging 10.4 MB/s across multiple runs. This performance is well below the acceptable threshold, indicating potential bottlenecks in data transfer rates. On the other hand, network tests showed decent upload and download speeds across various locations worldwide despite significant latency issues in certain regions like Chongqing CN. These mixed results suggest that while the server’s network capabilities are generally reliable, its performance may vary depending on the geographical location of the end-users.
Further Yabs tests revealed underwhelming disk speed performances, with mixed read/write operations hovering around 20 MB/s, again highlighting the server’s struggles with data transfer tasks. However, the Geekbench and UnixBench scores offer a silver lining, revealing a good level of processing power. The Geekbench results demonstrated respectable single-core and multi-core performances that meet the standard and good criteria. Similarly, the UnixBench scores reflected a strong processing capability, particularly when running multiple parallel copies of tests.
In conclusion, while the MVPS United Kingdom High-Performance Cloud KVM VPS Server shows promising processing strengths, its lower-than-expected I/O and disk speeds raise concerns about its overall efficiency in handling intensive data transfer and storage operations. Potential users should consider these factors, especially if their applications require high data throughput. Although this server may excel in processing tasks, its performance might be hampered by data handling limitations.
