Daaang nice one. I still got the 2 cores 10gb ram 40gb ssd for 18€/3m
Sooo tempting. Also it will likely have nested virtualisation again so you can easily make 3-4 smaller vps. Also interesting for reseller to offer nat server.
This is a very good deal. I really don’t need it (I keep telling myself I’m happy with the Schnupperspecial) but if you do: go go go. You won’t be disappointed.
Yeah, it's a great deal, but I've decided that I can't buy any further VPSes in 2019
(Not to mention that I got their BF special!)

Are 4 shared cores better than 2 dedicated cores?
On average, probably yes, but this may not be the case at any given moment, depending on what one's neighbors are doing at that moment (but I suspect that PHP-Friends will keep an eye out for CPU abusers)
I still have one with higher specs but 2 dedicated cores with them.
Two dedicated cores are probably a safer bet than four shared cores

I still have one with higher specs but 2 dedicated cores with them.
I have data where 3 dedicated cores consistently performs worse than 2 fair share cores on multi-core Geekbench. Couple of possible reasons:
The amount of fixed CPU time allocated to the dedicated cores can vary so even if dedicated, it may not perform very well depending how much is allocated.
My 2 core has a better host node CPU than the 3 core.
The 2 core host node is very well-managed such that whenever I need full performance I get maximum CPU time on those cores.
Therefore it all depends on how the host node is managed. I say the secret sauce is to know the provider and how they manage. I am a lot happier with my 2 shared cores than 3 dedicated cores.
Of course, it is not easy to get information on how hosts set up their host nodes and balance them. You need to learn by trying and also from asking around. I don't know about CPU shared cores with PHP-Friends because I don't have a service with them to test for an extended period. I have some in testing now for about a week plus and that is why I can tell you that dedicated cores may not mean much.

Is it the same provider in the case of the two instances that you describe above?
In any case, your points are well-taken: in principle, there are a number of variables that play a role.
In my answer above, I was implicitly assumIng the same provider and comparable nodes, the main factor of variation being potentially (very) active neighbors at different times.

Not the same provider. But your answer makes much sense considering your assumptions.
I guess the bottom line is basically go with a good provider. In that case, shared CPU is great, but dedicated will be greater.
The Network, Storage space and RAM are excellent for the price. However, the processor kind of sucks @2.10GHz, as their older offerings have had better clock speed of at-least 2.60GHz in the past.
TL;DR- @seriesn has raised the bar with his ryzen offerings.

yeah, he said he will release it, but its a little ex-Pensive, i dont think it will be a success
Find a provider that matches the specs? I'd reckon there aren't that many reputable ones
Ympker's VPN LTD Comparison, Uptime.is, Ympker's GitHub.
For the price, they are likely to be unmatched this Christmas, especially if you are outside Europe and don't need to pay VAT

I especially like the 4 cores. Usually Netcup throws something with like XX RAM at you but only like 1-2 cores.

Based on today's exchange rate, without VAT it is about 7.52 USD per month. Crazy pricing!

Does anyone know if it’s possible to run small IPv6 only KVMs on it?
Should be possible with ndppd, right?

They don't appear to be dedicated cores though.
They aren’t. Other specials (before BF) were, but this runs on other hardware (so I’ve been told).
In this respect, like their BF special

No benchmarks, but the value based on assessment of specs is pretty good: https://lowendboxes.review/php-friends-winterspecial-vserver-ssd-2019/
This is a quite future-proof VPS with that RAM and storage.

I recommend PHPFriends, running 3 instances for last 1+ years, they are rock solid.
