Yabs benchmark further confirmed this with excellent read/write speeds, exceeding 2GB/s even with smaller block sizes. This indicates the SSD is capable of handling demanding tasks efficiently. Network speeds were equally impressive, with the Dallas location showing download speeds reaching nearly 18Gbps, showcasing the low-latency advantage of a local connection.

The Geekbench 6 single-core score of 1481 landed in the “good” range, indicating solid processing power for single-threaded applications. The multi-core score of 2847 reflects the server’s two-core configuration, demonstrating adequate performance for multitasking.

UnixBench results further highlighted the server’s strengths. The system consistently achieved high index scores across various tests, including file copy, pipe throughput, and shell scripts, indicating robust performance in real-world scenarios. The substantial increase in performance when running two parallel copies of the tests underscores the server’s ability to handle concurrent processes effectively.

In conclusion, the TensorDock Dallas Xeon Platinum 8470 server offers a compelling combination of excellent disk and network performance. While the CPU core count might limit highly demanding multi-threaded applications, its overall performance makes it a strong contender for various workloads, especially those requiring fast storage and network access.
