Conclusion
The RamNode United States Atlanta Dedicated CPU VDS Server, leveraging an Intel Core Processor (Skylake, IBRS) with 2 CPU Cores, 8 GB RAM, and 200GB SSD Storage, went under comprehensive tests. These included I/O speed tests, upload and download speed tests, several benchmark tests, and a geekbench test.
The average I/O speed was found to be 569.7 MB/s. In terms of connectivity, the server showcased impressive upload/download speeds with various cities across the world, with the lowest seen in Singapore (335.45 Mbps upload and 234.85 Mbps download) and the highest in Paris, France (863.97 upload and 963.76 Mbps download).
The fio Disk Speed Tests evaluated read and write speeds across multiple block sizes. At a 4k block size, the server showed read and write speeds of 37.87 MB/s and 37.97 MB/s, respectively. These numbers escalated when the block size increased to 512k (read: 359.40 MB/s, write: 378.50 MB/s) and 1m (read: 418.72 MB/s, write: 446.61 MB/s). It indicates a robust SSD performance for a variety of read-write workloads.
The Geekbench 6 Benchmark Test yielded a score of 1443 for Single Core performance and 2480 for Multi-Core performance. This ranks the tested server as one that achieves solid performance when tested for single-threaded and multi-threaded tasks.
Moreover, the UnixBench CPU Performance test presented a System Benchmarks Index Score of 1400.1 when running one parallel copy of tests and an escalated score of 2457.6 when running two parallel copies of tests, showcasing significant improvement in multithreaded performance.
In conclusion, the RamNode United States Atlanta Dedicated CPU VDS Server exhibits substantial networking, storage, and CPU performance, making it a powerful player in its range. It particularly shines in its SSD performance and multi-core capabilities, as the benchmark tests demonstrate. The server’s flexible billing options make it attractive and suitable for many high-demanding server needs.
