Nice. Just launched a couple of VMs in APAC locations (Japan and India) to verify the same. Both of them came with -

Many of the big cloud players will be AMD soon. Not being able to hyperthread on Intel processors hurt profitability like crazy for them. They probably consider the change a capital investment for the next 5 years.

@K4Y5 - if you're looking for something in Dallas, might check with @MikeA if any deals available on his Ryzen 3900x

Last month I managed to snag a nice discount to get this one just under $7

2GB RAM (DDR4 ECC)
2 Cores (Ryzen 3900X)
30GB NVMe SSD
2TB @ 1Gbps
1 IPv4/IPv6

Thanks @uptime. I actually had the $3.5/mo 1GB Ryzen VPS with ExtraVM from the initial launch period up until last week. @MikeA has always been a stand-up guy and his services have been pretty solid.

It's just that I am currently moving services to EU and APAC to cut down on latency amongst other things. So, letting go of VMs that I have no immediate use for. Sadly, that puts most of my US/CA based VM and Dedis on the list for cancellation within the next couple of months.

MikeA

@uptime May want to watch for the next deal on 3950X, it will have 10Gbps instead of 1Gbps ?

Stop tempting me, damnit! I am trying to cut down on services. :P

I had one of @MikeA's 3900x vm's for a month and it was fantastic, did several compute heavy tasks on it and it outran my 3770x dedi on per-core basis.

Scaleway.com lets you spin up a bare metal 7401P dedi for 0.80 euro/hour if that's of any interest. Not a VM but similar type of product. 24 cores/48 threads, 256GB ram, and some large SSD setup. I could imagine having a use for that sometime.

Oracle's "always free" VMs gave me 2 x Epyc 7551 per VM.

Was about to say same. Those VMs are severely nerf'd though. The up/down is capped to 50mb/s

Agreed. I/O also sucks. But the OP didn't say anything about the VM being good/fast/suitable for anything, just whether it uses Ryzen or Epyc
