Tencent Cloud Lighthouse Seoul Review: Unlocks TikTok, Suitable for Some China Unicom/China Mobile Users
This article brings you a review of the Tencent Cloud Lighthouse (Lightweight Application Server) series in the Seoul, South Korea data center. The test machine is the "Entry-level Package (Basic)". Here is a quick summary: AMD EPYC 9754, DDR5, NVMe SSD. In the FIO test with 4K data, the read speed is 52.09 MB/s (approx. 13K IOPS) and the write speed is approx. 52.16 MB/s (approx. 13K IOPS), indicating relatively weak performance. In UnixBench, the single-core score is 806 and the dual-core score is 1491, which suggests that even the most powerful servers will experience performance drops as the number of users increases (though we cannot rule out the possibility that performance/data is being throttled). It uses a broadcast IP, which successfully unlocks popular services like TikTok, ChatGPT, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, YouTube, Claude, Gemini, Steam currency, etc.
