Builds, video encoding and number-crunching need raw CPU and memory. The VPS for compute ranking puts most weight on the processor. The fastest compute VPS right now is Ghostnet.
VPS for compute: CPU and memory, nothing else
For compute-bound work the CPU weighs 70% and memory 30%. Neither disk nor network counts: the machine is bought for arithmetic — builds, encoding, data crunching.
Here you should read not only the score but the spread across passes on each test page. Compute load is merciless about noisy neighbours: if a server bounces between runs, your build will take ten minutes one day and twenty the next.
The selection holds 13 hosts, led by Ghostnet at 87.1. The gap between first and last is 66.9 points. That is a lot: the choice here genuinely matters rather than being a matter of taste.
