Are these specs good?

Hello everyone!

A friend of mine gave me a vps to use.
I've ran yabs on it.

The results.

Are the specs okay for a vps?

HalfEatenPie

It's bad. jk

Nanja

If it fits your server requirements and what you are using it for. I guess it's good specs

jackb

Depends on your definition of good. The CPU was discontinued like 6 years ago; but if it performs well for you; that probably isn't a big concern for you.

Svensken

Interesting to be a hosting provider yet lacking in basic server knowledge..

matey0

Worth $1/mo maybe. The specs are okay if it works for whatever you're planning to do with it.

totally_not_banned

Somewhat strange CPU choice but if it works it works, i guess?

Neoon

Depends what you pay, not more than 2$ hopefully.

This was before I started the hosting company.

This was a bit of a necro by someone, this is for those reading and wondering the same about their own yabs score. At geekbench.com you can find your CPU and compare it to others. There's a tab single core and multicore https://browser.geekbench.com/processors/intel-core-i5-4460t#family-64-single with comparison of other CPUs.

With Intel and AMD the marketing for the model names is seriously how it sounds, 'K', 'X', 'Q' that sounds pretty cool right? Yeah they're faster in comparison to a 'T' or 'U'.

For enterprise it's roughly the same where 'L' is shit and models missing a version are the earliest

It's somewhat part of the factory process where the better sounding ones are the better cookies and the others are relatively worse cookies in terms of raw speed or possible features.

The difference between one generation is not so much, multiple generations is where it starts to matter. There's a sweet spot somewhere in a generation of power usage, raw performance and amount produced (cost).

A 9th gen 'U' can be slower in comparison to a 4th gen K, the K will use more power though. You can turn a K into a U by lowering the CPU frequency.

I like that relative to people digging up multiple years old of threads, we see one year as okay :^).

The explaination is pretty nice though!
