Nube Cloud United States San Jose AMD EPYC Elastic Cloud Server Test and Review

We recently tested the Nube Cloud United States San Jose Powerful Elastic Cloud Server (Plan: a3s.2c4g). This server runs on an AMD EPYC 7663 56-core Processor and has the following specs: 2 CPU cores, 4 GB of RAM, 50 GB SSD storage, a 1 Gbps internet port, and 1 IPv4 address.

Our review includes several tests: Basic Benchmark, Yabs, and Unix Benchmark for performance, Global Node Test for network speeds at different locations, and Global Ping Test for latency. We also check media accessibility with The Media Unlock Test, connection quality with the CloudFlare Internet Test, and web performance with PageSpeed Insights and GTmetrix.
