Conclusion
We tested Linode’s 4GB Jakarta, Indonesia Dedicated CPU Instance, focusing on its performance with the advertised AMD EPYC 7713 processor. Our benchmark tests reveal a mixed bag of results, highlighting both the strengths and weaknesses of this particular configuration.
The disk I/O performance, averaging 619.7 MB/s, falls into the good range, suitable for most web applications and databases. Yabs benchmark further confirmed decent disk speeds, especially with larger block sizes, reaching over 5 GB/s, indicating good performance for file transfers and handling larger files.
Network speeds vary significantly depending on the location. While the connection to Singapore showed blazing-fast speeds exceeding 11 Gbps download, connections to other locations, like the US and Europe, were considerably slower. This highlights the advantage of targeting a Southeast Asian audience with this server. The low latency to Singapore also reinforces its suitability for regional deployments.
Geekbench 6 single-core performance scored 1063, landing in the good range. This suggests the server can handle demanding single-threaded tasks efficiently. The multi-core score of 1386, while respectable, isn’t as impressive, likely due to the server only having two cores available in this plan.
In conclusion, Linode’s Jakarta, Indonesia Dedicated CPU Instance offers good disk I/O and single-core CPU performance, coupled with excellent network connectivity within the region. However, users targeting a global audience should consider the varied network performance. The limited two cores might also become a bottleneck for heavily multi-threaded applications. This plan appears well-suited for projects prioritizing single-threaded performance and low latency within Southeast Asia.
