Network results are not compared across locations. iperf3 targets are third-party servers, so distance to each target dominates the number. ## Performance over time Every DigitalOcean plan tested in Richmond 1, including network results to each iperf3 target from here. ### Geekbench 7 single-core One run per plan so far, higher is better Loading... ### Geekbench 7 multi-core Weekly average per plan, higher is better No results yet. ### Disk 4K mixed IOPS One run per plan so far, higher is better Loading... ### iperf3 receive over IPv4 One run per target so far, in Mbps. Each target is only compared with itself. Loading... ## Recent runs 1 run, newest first.
