How to Interpret Benchmark Results
1. CPU Performance (Geekbench)
Geekbench measures CPU performance through single-core and multi-core scores. Single-core scores (typically 800-2000) indicate performance for single-threaded applications and general responsiveness. Multi-core scores (1500-8000) show performance when all CPU cores are utilized for parallel processing. Higher scores mean better performance. Visit our testing methodology to learn more about CPU benchmarks.
2. Disk I/O Performance (FIO)
FIO benchmarks measure disk performance through IOPS (Input/Output Operations Per Second) and bandwidth (MB/s). High IOPS (10,000+ for NVMe, 5,000-10,000 for SSD) is crucial for database workloads with many small operations. High bandwidth is important for large file transfers and media applications. Compare disk performance across different providers in our database.
3. Application Performance
Real-world application benchmarks (WordPress, UnixBench) show how the VPS handles typical web workloads including PHP processing, database queries, and static file serving. These results measured in requests per second and page load times directly apply to web hosting scenarios. Need help choosing the right VPS? Visit about us to learn more about VPSMetrics.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I interpret the Geekbench single-core and multi-core scores?
Geekbench single-core scores indicate CPU performance for single-threaded applications, important for general responsiveness and web applications. Multi-core scores show performance when all CPU cores are utilized, crucial for parallel processing and multi-threaded applications. Higher scores indicate better performance. Modern VPS typically score 800-2000 (single) and 1500-8000 (multi) depending on the plan.
What do IOPS numbers mean in disk I/O benchmarks?
IOPS (Input/Output Operations Per Second) measures how many read/write operations your disk can handle per second. Higher IOPS means better performance for database operations and applications with many small file operations. NVMe SSD VPS typically delivers 10,000+ IOPS, while traditional SSD offers 5,000-10,000 IOPS.
What is UnixBench and why does it matter?
UnixBench is a comprehensive system-level benchmark suite that tests various aspects of Unix-like system performance including process creation, file operations, and system calls. It provides a holistic view of overall system performance beyond just CPU or disk metrics. Higher UnixBench scores indicate better overall system efficiency.
How reliable are WordPress benchmark results?
WordPress benchmarks provide real-world application performance metrics by testing actual WordPress installations. These results show how the VPS handles typical web application workloads including PHP processing, database queries, and static file serving. Results are measured in requests per second and page load times, directly applicable to web hosting scenarios.
Can I trust these benchmark results for my use case?
Our benchmarks provide standardized, reproducible test results using industry-standard tools. While they offer excellent performance indicators, your actual experience may vary based on your specific workload, application optimization, and usage patterns. Use these benchmarks as a reliable starting point for comparison between providers.
Why do benchmark results vary by location?
Different data center locations may have different hardware configurations, CPU generations, storage types, and network infrastructure. Providers often upgrade facilities at different rates across regions. Location-specific benchmarks help you choose a VPS in the right region with the best performance for your target audience.
Making Informed VPS Decisions
Use these comprehensive benchmark results to make data-driven hosting decisions. Compare multiple metrics together rather than focusing on a single aspect - a balanced VPS performs well across CPU, disk, and network benchmarks. Consider your specific workload requirements: CPU-intensive applications need high Geekbench scores, database-heavy applications require high IOPS, and content delivery services benefit from high network bandwidth.
