sysbench benchmark results for $7 and under DEDICATED servers

Creativity

I'm interested to see how these low end servers compare on CPU benchmarks, I was surprised when my Raspberry pi 4 home server has a better CPU benchmark than KS-2E with an Atom N2800. Make sure to put ``` at the start and and of your results so they format properly.

Benchmark command (install sysbench package first): sysbench --test=cpu --cpu-max-prime=20000 --num-threads=4 run

hmm, tried to install sysbench but the deps seem broken on debian 10.2..

I think the hardware performance is one part of the story. You run into fewer issues administering the server with Intel CPUs in general compared to ARM.

poisson said: administering the server

Agree. ARM still need more time to become more popular in the server space.
