1. System and Basic Performance Test
We first conducted basic system information and hardware performance tests on this VPS.
- CPU Performance: Equipped with AMD Ryzen 9 9950X, the single-core Geekbench 5 score reaches 2331 points, showing excellent performance. SysBench single-core score reaches 6424 points, demonstrating strong computing power far ahead of other VPS in the same price range.
- Disk I/O Speed: Uses NVMe SSD array storage with outstanding read/write performance. In mixed read/write (50/50) tests, 4K and 64K block speeds reach 1.33 GB/s and 7.44 GB/s respectively. Even 1M large-file throughput reaches 7.42 GB/s, far surpassing SATA or HDD solutions, ensuring smooth data processing for websites and applications.
- Network Info: The VPS is assigned a clean native IP with both IPv4 and IPv6 dual-stack support, located under AS26042. This provides a strong foundation for streaming unlock capabilities.
2. Network Quality & Routing Analysis
Network quality is a key factor when evaluating VPS performance. We tested both inbound and outbound routes for China’s three major ISPs (China Telecom, China Unicom, China Mobile).
Outbound Routing
- China Telecom: Routes via AS4134 backbone, exits in San Jose, then connects through TATA (AS6453) to Los Angeles.
- China Unicom: Routes via AS4837 backbone, exits internationally and connects through TATA (AS6453), performing well.
- China Mobile: Routes via AS9808 backbone, exits through Hong Kong, then connects via CMI and TATA (AS6453), with slightly higher latency but still optimized.
Inbound Routing
- Beijing / Shanghai / Guangzhou (Three Networks):
- Telecom: Direct optimized return via AS26042 → China Telecom 163 backbone, excellent low latency.
- Unicom: Returns via TATA (AS6453) or GTT (AS3257) into AS4837 backbone, stable optimized routing.
- Mobile: Returns via PCCW (AS3491) or TATA (AS6453) into CMI backbone, also optimized.
From routing analysis, UQIDC Los Angeles datacenter uses optimized paths for all three major Chinese networks, with China Telecom showing especially strong performance.
Ping Latency
- China Average: 150–200ms. East China users (Telecom) achieve the best results at around 140–160ms, better than many standard US West datacenters.
- Global Latency: Extremely low local LA latency (~23ms). Tokyo ~113ms, London ~125ms, making it suitable for global deployments.
3. Streaming & IP Quality Test
For users targeting streaming or AI services, IP quality is crucial.
- IP Type: Both IPv4 and IPv6 are native IPs with very low risk score, not blacklisted and clean.
- Streaming Unlock: Successfully unlocks Netflix, Disney+, YouTube, Amazon Prime Video, making it ideal for media use cases.
- AI Services: ChatGPT works successfully, making it suitable for AI development and testing environments.
