Let me tell you things have been pretty exciting around here at Contabo lately! A couple of weeks ago we unveiled two brand-new Dedicated Server models.
We’re talking about a 16-core and a 32-core powerhouse both running on the latest and greatest AMD EPYC 7282 CPUs.
It’s been a wild ride and I can’t wait to share all the juicy details about how these new servers are performing.
The AMD EPYC 7282: A Powerhouse for Performance
Now you might be wondering why we decided to switch gears from Intel to AMD and why we went with the EPYC 7282 instead of something like the popular Ryzen series.
Well the short answer is that the AMD EPYC 7282 is simply a beast when it comes to bang for your buck.
It offers the best price-to-performance ratio compared to any Intel or AMD CPU out there.
Trust me we did our research! We’ve always been dedicated to delivering computing power at unmatched prices and this decision aligns perfectly with that mission.
The Power of the EPYC 7282
The EPYC 7282 is a true game-changer.
It’s a monster of a processor packing in a whopping 64 cores and 128 threads with a base clock speed of 2.8 GHz.
This incredible power allows it to handle even the most demanding tasks with ease.
It’s not just about the sheer number of cores though.
The EPYC 7282 is built with a cutting-edge architecture that delivers superior performance and efficiency.
The Price-to-Performance Ratio: A Game Changer
The EPYC 7282 offers an unparalleled combination of performance and affordability.
We’ve always focused on providing our customers with the best value possible and this CPU allows us to do just that.
It’s a testament to AMD’s commitment to innovation and its dedication to pushing the boundaries of processor performance.
Why We Ditched Intel for AMD
Switching to AMD wasn’t a decision we took lightly.
After a careful analysis of the market we realized that AMD EPYC 7282 offered the best value for our customers.
Intel’s processors while powerful simply couldn’t compete with the price-to-performance ratio of the EPYC 7282. It was a clear choice and we’re incredibly excited about the results.
Benchmarking the New Dedicated Servers
Now let’s talk numbers.
We’ve put these new servers through their paces using a standard industry benchmark the Linux Kernel Compile Benchmark (pts/build-linux-kernel). It’s a great way to measure how quickly a server can compile a Linux kernel.
Outperforming Expectations
The results were absolutely incredible! The new 16-core and 32-core servers absolutely blew our previous flagship servers out of the water.
Despite having fewer cores the AMD EPYC 7282’s modern design and architecture enabled it to deliver significantly faster performance.
It’s clear that these new servers are a quantum leap forward.
Beyond Raw Power: Value for Money
But it’s not just about raw power.
We’ve always been driven by providing our customers with the best value possible.
That’s why we prioritize how much computing power you get for your money.
And in this regard the EPYC 7282 is a true champion.
Looking Towards the Future: What’s Next?
As we move forward we’re always looking for ways to improve our offerings.
We’re constantly exploring new technologies and innovations to deliver the best possible experience for our customers.
The Future of Dedicated Servers
We’re excited to see what the future holds for dedicated servers.
We’re constantly pushing the boundaries of performance and affordability and we’re confident that we’ll continue to offer innovative and powerful solutions for our customers.
