Is this unix bench score OK?
Hi there,
I have recently purchased a 2 Core Xen vps from Turnkeyinternet.
Specs as follows:
**RAM 1994 MB
HDD 22 GB
CPU Model Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2640 v2 @ 2.00GHz
CPU Cores 2
CPU Speed 2000 MHz
CPU Cache 20480 KB**
After executing serverbear script on this new vps i got a score of :
**UnixBench
UnixBench (w/ all processors) 289.1
UnixBench (w/ one processor) 279.8**
Is this score okay for this configuration?
Comments
That score is not good.
Is the VPS fast enough to do what you need? If so, the unixbench score is irrelevant. If it's not fast enough, get another VPS.
i would expect quite a low score for a xeon E5 (they are quite slow single threaded) but that is something to complain about it's a very bad score.
@teper
could you perhaps run a geekbench test for us, this will show core performance & features
It seems like you can't even run php decently.
Yea score seems to be quite low but i am able to host my application without any problem...
Let me run the unix bench again...
No, it's not. You should have e really better bench. Contact their support, they are prety good in it.
Never rely on unixbench.
Unixbench always gives low scores for XEN-virtualised systems.
Haven't heard of this fact.
Thanks for the info..
It's RL performances not the benchmark scores, what's important imo.
while unixbench's score doesn't directly correlate with server performance... you should probably be worried with anything under 1000...
Ask your provider if they are throttling CPU use... that might be the reason yours is so low.
Unixbench on a 1G Linode only scores ~500.
@teper
That is astonishingly low, I appreciate there is a difference between benchmark and real life but that really does indicate a big problem.
example: http://serverbear.com/benchmark/2013/10/04/OC26B05MsBZwyCLw
Even a 128mb 1 core LowEndSpirit box gets 902.7 on an X3440 @ 2.53GHz (which is 6 years old)
Either it's not setup right or the host is limiting your cpu speed / access
A raspberry pi 2 gets 440ish on unixbench (all 4 cores obviously)
please share a geekbench score, this will then expose CPU performance on a numbered basis.
I get 1481.6 on a 1 cpu 512mb Quadranet Infracloud instance
Thats nice
Which processor
I don't know
it just says:

Its a lower performing E5
