This week I needed database (RDBMS) and PHP (frameworks) benchmarks for the Scaleway C2M server. Whilst doing so, I thought it would be useful to fully benchmark the server and share it in a blogpost.
CPU & Memory
I tested the dedicated server (C2M) with 8 cores, 16GB ram and 50GB storage (running Ubuntu 16). At the time of writing, this server costs 17,99 euro/month.
This baremetal box runs an Intel Atom C2750 processor clocked at 2.4GHz
Geekbench
Geekbench 4 scores:
| Single-Core Score | Multi-Core Score |
|---|---|
| 1187 | 6031 |
