99Stack France Paris AMD EPYC-Rome Cloud Virtual Dedicated Server Test and Review
We recently tested the 99Stack France Paris Virtual Dedicated Server (Plan: G1-dedicated-amd-4m-2c). This server runs on an AMD EPYC-Rome processor and includes 2 CPU cores, 4 GB RAM, 100 GB SSD storage, a 1 Gbps internet port, and 5 TB of traffic.
Our review covers several tests: Basic Benchmark, Yabs, and Unix Benchmark for performance, Global Node Test for network speeds across locations, and Global Ping Test for latency. We also check media accessibility with The Media Unlock Test, connection quality with the CloudFlare Internet Test, and web performance using PageSpeed Insights and GTmetrix.

Conclusion
In our Basic Benchmark, the server showed impressive I/O speeds, averaging 654.7 MB/s, which we rate as good. Upload and download speeds were also strong, especially in Europe and the US, with standout performance in Amsterdam and Mumbai. However, speeds dropped significantly in Shanghai, indicating room for improvement in certain regions.
The Yabs Performance Bench confirmed the server’s solid disk performance, with read and write speeds reaching up to 1.33 GB/s, marking it as excellent. These results suggest the server can handle data-intensive tasks efficiently, making it suitable for demanding applications.
The Geekbench 6 Benchmark Test showed a Single Core score of 1215 and a Multi-Core score of 2119. These scores indicate good performance, especially for multi-threaded tasks. The UnixBench further supported these findings with a System Benchmarks Index Score of 1741.6, highlighting the server’s capability to handle concurrent processes and scripts.
In conclusion, the 99Stack France Paris AMD EPYC 7713 server delivers robust performance across various benchmarks. Its strengths lie in I/O operations and multi-core processing, making it a reliable choice for businesses needing consistent speed and efficiency. However, network performance in certain regions could be improved for a more global reach.
