Cherry Servers Sweden Stockholm Intel Core 2nd Generation Cloud VPS Test and Review
Cherry Servers’ 2nd Gen Cloud VPS (2 cores, 2 GB RAM, 40 GB SSD) in Stockholm delivered steady all-around performance in recent tests. CPU scores were modest—713 (single) and 1297 (multi-thread) in Sysbench—but consistent. Memory performance stood out with 14 GB/s read and 9 GB/s write speeds, while SSD throughput averaged around 400 MB/s. Network bandwidth reached 1 Gbps, and the VPS successfully unlocked most major streaming platforms, including Netflix and Disney+.
Overall system responsiveness was smooth, with low latency and stable I/O under sustained load. The Broadwell-based CPU and limited RAM make it best suited for lightweight web services or regional proxy nodes rather than compute-heavy applications. IP reputation checks showed moderate trust scores but high proxy flags, which may occasionally affect content access or CAPTCHA frequency.
In summary, the Stockholm Gen2 VPS offers dependable baseline performance, strong memory efficiency, and solid network reach—an appealing, cost-efficient option for developers seeking a reliable European foothold, though not ideal for intensive virtualization or high-performance workloads.

Conclusion
This evaluation was conducted on Cherry Servers’ 2nd Generation Cloud VPS (Plan: Cloud VPS 2), hosted in Stockholm, Sweden. The goal was to assess overall performance across compute, memory, storage, and network metrics, while also examining IP reputation and streaming unlock capabilities. The test system featured a dual-core Intel Broadwell CPU, 2 GB RAM, 40 GB SSD, and a 1 Gbps network port—typical of an entry-level cloud configuration aimed at developers or small-scale workloads.
CPU benchmarks revealed modest yet steady results: Sysbench scored 713 (single thread) and 1297 (dual thread), while Geekbench 5 recorded 495 (single core) and 859 (multi core). Memory throughput was impressive, with read speeds exceeding 14 GB/s and writes around 9 GB/s, indicating efficient RAM performance for lightweight tasks. Disk tests averaged roughly 400 MB/s for sequential operations, consistent with mid-tier SSD performance. Network bandwidth reached 1 Gbps, and streaming unlock tests confirmed access to major platforms such as Netflix, Disney+, and Amazon Prime Video (region SE).
For its configuration, the VPS delivered stable and predictable performance. The CPU, though based on the older Broadwell architecture, handled multi-thread workloads reasonably well, suitable for web hosting, small databases, or CI/CD runners. Memory performance stood out—comparable to higher-tier instances in burst scenarios. Disk I/O, while not exceptional, was reliable and consistent under load. A notable limitation lies in virtualization settings—VMX/AMD-V disabled—which restricts nested virtualization use cases. IP analysis showed a moderate trust score (57) and a high proxy score, suggesting its IP range may occasionally trigger geo or security checks. In real-world terms, this is akin to a sports car driving through a city—it can perform, but external factors may limit its full potential.
Overall, Cherry Servers’ Stockholm Gen2 VPS offers solid baseline performance with commendable network stability and memory throughput. It’s a dependable choice for developers seeking affordable European infrastructure for general-purpose workloads, staging environments, or media-accessible nodes. However, those planning heavy computation or virtualization tasks may prefer newer CPU generations or larger plans. For cost-conscious users prioritizing geographic coverage and consistent performance over raw speed, this VPS strikes a pragmatic balance between capability and value.
