Genesis Cloud Iceland Reykjavík AMD EPYC On-demand Instance Test and Review

We recently tested the Genesis Cloud Iceland Reykjavík high-performance on-demand server. It runs on an AMD EPYC Processor with IBPB and features 2 CPU cores, 4 GB RAM, 80 GB SSD storage, a 1 Gbps internet port, and one IPv4 address.

Our review covers several tests: Basic Benchmark, Yabs, and Unix Benchmark for performance, Global Node Test for network speeds across locations, and Global Ping Test for latency. We also assess media access with The Media Unlock Test, connection quality with the CloudFlare Internet Test, and web performance using PageSpeed Insights and GTmetrix.
