- CPU: Latest AMD EPYC Genoa processor with a single-core boost clock up to 4291 MHz.
- Benchmark results:
- Geekbench 5: Single-core 2080, Multi-core 2335. Extremely strong single-core performance, ideal for latency-sensitive applications.
- SysBench CPU: Single-core score of 6965.
- Memory performance: Read speed exceeds 100 GB/s, write speed around 40 GB/s, excellent overall performance.
4. Network Route Analysis
1. Latency Test
- China mainland latency: Telecom ~77ms, Unicom ~128ms, Mobile ~115ms. Shanghai Telecom can reach as low as 25ms.
- Local latency in Seoul: approximately 1ms.
2. Outbound Routing
- China Telecom: Beijing/Inner Mongolia → Telecom 163 backbone (AS4134) → direct KT Seoul.
- China Unicom: via AS4837 aggregation in Shanghai/Beijing → direct KT Seoul.
- China Mobile: via Shanghai backbone → routed through Japan (NTT/CMI) → KT Seoul.
3. Return Routing
The return path is a major highlight, with consistent routing across all three networks:
- Telecom (Beijing/Shanghai/Guangdong): KT → China Telecom 163 backbone → direct return.
- Unicom (Beijing/Shanghai/Guangdong): KT → AS4837 → direct return.
- Mobile (Beijing/Shanghai/Guangdong): KT → China Mobile Hong Kong CMI → Mobile backbone → return to mainland.
Summary: The routing is mainly centered on KT direct connectivity. Telecom and Unicom perform very stably, while Mobile routes via Hong Kong CMI. Overall, this is a well-optimized Asian network path.
