@kramerger No, Xeon Server is a dedicated server(a.k.a Bare metal), I've looked at it's console and found it's Dell PowerEdge R220(Motherboard Dell Inc. 081N4V).

I'm quite confused about it's performance as well.

CPU Info Name Intel Xeon E3-1230 v3 Topology 1 Processor, 4 Cores, 8 Threads

Geekbench Link is at: https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/1533259

Your link is wrong, it points to an E3-1230 (v1) from 2011 (Sandy Bridge), while the tested CPU was E3-1230 v3 from 2013 (Haswell).

Decoding the Intel product names requires experience, because one or two letters or digits added or deleted can change very much the characteristics of the product. Two such products differing in one letter might have a five times difference in performance.

Not that it matters much, because even an only 10-year old CPU is still ancient.
