# CPU Optimized VPS benchmarks Dedicated CPU plans with 2 GB of RAM or less per vCPU. More cores per dollar for builds, encoding, and other compute-bound work. 4 of the 48 CPU Optimized plans we track from 8 providers have been benchmarked.[Every CPU Optimized run in the benchmark browser](https://74pzd.hatchboxapp.com/benchmarks?filter%5Bcategory%5D%5B%5D=cpu-optimized) ## Measured results [Compare them in the Geekbench browser](https://74pzd.hatchboxapp.com/vps-geekbench-scores?filter%5Bcategory%5D%5B%5D=cpu-optimized) 4 tested plans, by Geekbench 7 single-core. Scores are medians across every location over the last 90 days. Multi per $ is the multi-core median divided by the current monthly price, USD only. | Plan | vCPU | RAM | Price | Runs | GB7 single | GB7 multi | Multi per $ | Last tested | | --- | --- | --- | --- |
