Conclusion
Disk performance was a definite highlight. Averaging nearly 960 MB/s in basic I/O speed tests, the NVMe drive delivered excellent read/write speeds. Yabs benchmark tests further confirmed this, showing impressive performance with various block sizes. The server easily surpassed the 500 MB/s threshold for “good” performance, consistently reaching speeds we classify as “excellent.”
Network performance was a mixed bag. While the server achieved incredibly fast speeds within France (over 14 Gbps), connections to other locations were more variable. We saw decent speeds to North American servers, but connections to Asian locations were significantly slower. This suggests the server is best suited for users targeting a European audience.
The Geekbench 6 benchmark test revealed solid single-core performance, scoring 1983. This places the server firmly in the “good” category, indicating it can handle demanding single-threaded tasks effectively. The multi-core score of 3629 reflects the limitations of the 2-core configuration but remains respectable for its class.
In conclusion, the Vultr France Paris General Purpose Cloud Dedicated Server offers excellent disk performance and good single-core processing power. While network performance varies by location, its strengths lie in serving a European audience. This server is a viable option for users prioritizing fast storage and single-threaded applications within the European region.
