## CPU

Geekbench was skipped because this plan has less than 4 GB of RAM, which isn't enough for Geekbench 7 to finish without swap.

| Architecture | x86\_64 | x86\_64 |
| Virtualization | KVM | KVM |

Guests usually report slightly less RAM and disk than advertised because of kernel reservations and filesystem overhead.
