This week I needed database (RDBMS) and PHP (frameworks) benchmarks for the Scaleway C2M<\/a> server. Whilst doing so, I thought it would be useful to fully benchmark the server and share it in a blogpost.<\/p>\n

CPU & Memory<\/h3>\n

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.
\nThis baremetal box runs an Intel Atom C2750<\/a> processor clocked at 2.4GHz<\/p>\n
