ServerPoint Singapore Intel Xeon Gold 6144 High Frequency CPU Virtual Server Test and Review
We recently took ServerPoint‘s Singapore High-Frequency CPU Virtual Server (Plan: G4.2) for a spin. This powerful machine boasts an Intel Xeon Gold 6144 processor, 2 cores, 2 GB RAM, a zippy 50 GB SSD, a 1 Gbps internet connection, a generous 5 TB traffic allowance, and 1 IPv4 address.
But how does it perform? We ran a battery of tests to find out:
Performance:
- Basic, Yabs, and Unix Benchmarks: We pushed the server to its limits to measure its raw processing power.
- Global Node Test: We checked network speeds from different locations around the globe.
- Global Ping Test: We measured latency to see how quickly the server responds to requests.
Beyond Speed:
- Media Unlock Test: We tested access to popular streaming services.
- CloudFlare Internet Test: We analyzed the quality and stability of the internet connection.
- PageSpeed Insights & GTmetrix: We evaluated website loading times and overall web performance.
Stay tuned for our detailed findings and see if ServerPoint’s Singapore server is the right fit for your needs!

Conclusion
Our benchmark tests revealed a mixed bag in terms of performance. While the server delivered excellent network speeds, consistently exceeding 1 Gbps, its disk speed fell short. With an average I/O speed of 266 MB/s, it falls into the “poor” category, potentially leading to slower loading times for websites and applications hosted on the server.
The Geekbench 6 benchmark test painted a rosier picture, with a single-core score of 1098 landing firmly in the “good” range. This indicates the server can handle single-threaded tasks, such as web browsing and light content creation, with ease. The multi-core score of 1929 also points to respectable performance for multi-threaded applications.
Finally, the UnixBench results further confirmed the server’s strengths in handling a variety of tasks. The impressive scores in areas like file copy and pipe throughput suggest it can manage data-intensive operations efficiently.
In conclusion, ServerPoint’s Singapore G4.2 server presents a mixed bag. While it shines in network and processing power, the underwhelming disk speed might be a dealbreaker for users who prioritize fast storage access. If your needs prioritize raw processing power and fast internet connectivity, this server is worth considering. However, users heavily reliant on disk-intensive operations might want to explore other options.
