I've recently switch from VPS with Intel to physical server with latest AMD Zen4.

Single thread performance blow my mind with scores like 4000.

Without change a single line of code = performance was 10x than before.

4000 in what benchmark? I don't doubt that bare-metal Zen4 is fast but that number doesn't mean anything by itself.
Yeah, I read that and just saw Vegeta saying "it's over 8000"
Ahem, that's _9000_.
9000 in the first few English dubs. 8000 in the manga and DBZ Kai.
It's really important to benchmark this stuff, because depending on the workload, a cheap VPS is the way to go (you're almost always idle, say) or getting some of the latest and greatest hardware under your desk can quickly pay for itself.

What exactly is this number 4000? What does it mean? Where can I read more about this scoring system?

Assuming they mean Geekbench.
Arent VPS cpus usually clocked pretty low? Also if you are sharing the cpu with another intensive service, the cache will miss a lot.
