hmm... here all provider are failed @Porlam
What price? Can I still benefit of this 7950xd offer? @labze
Fun fact, Geekbench in general is a bad benchmark and can be faked, seemingly easily. Here's a "Xiaomi 2107113SI (Mi 11T Pro)" "AMD Ryzen 5 7600" beating everything else in single core.
https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/singlecore
A friend did a non-rigorous test, and when importing a large number of databases, EPYC processed them faster than Ryzen.
Disk is not the bottleneck, they are both fast. The processor used EPYC 9754, 9554, compared to 7950X. basically the same results whether it was HostBrr, Hybula, Layerstack, server-factory, or AWS, Hetzner, Azure.
But that might only be a problem with the geekbench website - basically I don't see how they could verify whether an uploaded result is true if you invest enough time to disassemble geekbench/log the network communication of geekbench/manipulate the values of geekbench in-memory/...
And I think that this benchmark you mention seems pretty much completely faked - I don't think you could install a 65-watt cpu inside of an ARM smartphone, add 3 GB memory, remove/disable 2 cores of the cpu, halve the base tact, and get 3 times single core geekbench/2 times multi core.
I think that the website simply doesn't validate the results enough to trust some benchmarks submitted by someone, which doesn't mean that there is a general problem with geekbench.
Try running HDR image compression on multiple threads and measure that performance, if you are looking to benchmark the computing power of the VPS.
Loading database is not directly proportional to computing power.
And that's the issue. There's obviously fake benchmark results on their own website, with no way of reporting them and no indication to someone who doesn't know any better that they are fake. They just don't seem to care. The actual tests performed might be fine, but I lose trust in what they mean if they let that happen.
Some of the people faking Benchmark scores like to disguise their devices as Xiaomi phones. Geekbench lacks a verification feature like CPU-Z and always uploads the results, causing the scores in the database much less informative
It's of course bad you can't report fakes and that they don't even seem to notice such obvious fakes.
It's also bad that often the overview over a specific CPU is often simply inaccurate as for example (I think) many VPS benchmarks influence the scores, but still, geekbench is, in my opinion, perfectly suitable for comparing servers (though GB6 multi core score not so much).
I agree.
Are there specific instructions on cpu frequency? Such as the maximum limit for a certain period of time.
Is it a general network thing with rather big variance in pings if one leaves mtr running for a while or is it something that is likely to be isolated to certain nodes and somebody blasting the port?
I have a valentines day offer and the performance is great and nothing to complain about when it comes to that but there seems to be some ping jumps/jitter and I wonder if I should expect same on the epyc offer or if it might be different/this is something that is expected to be resolved in the future?
I am not familiar with this issue. Does the ping fluctuate at the VPS or the routing inbetween?
If I mtr any of my vps at other frankfurt hosts (aurologic, clouvider, ovh etc) then I get intermittent +10ms spikes and also in general some jitter
@labze Can you?
@labze possible to announce flash deals little earlier in time? Eliminate timezone bias basically ....
i think it's good to be in the same time zone as @labze in order to have an advantage. but with greencloud i'm usually in the tube!
better idea
Happy birthday to a fantastic provider! @labze
It is an absolute pleasure doing business with you.
Great offer but am saving up for something else from Hostbrr!
I'm very sleepy, hope you guys get nice deals! 😭
Let's goooo
Sleepy now ....
@labze show me a dreamy deal, while I'm still awake.
Pretty please @labze
