Threadripper will also give you NVME raid by the Way along with 64 pcie lanes. Also you can start with the cheap 8core models and move to the 12 and then 16core later.
I thought there were some providers using the Hetzner servers for KVM. Would be interested to test it. Maybe @Ishaq can get us something.
ECC memory support is built in and supported on every Zen based processor. It will actually work.
With that said I would personally pay extra for KVMs on Eypc processors with SEV enabled
Be sure the board has good Japanese capacitors. (I know gigabyte and asus do, on anything mid range and higher )
If Hetzner can run on business desktop grade boards, no reason not to try with the 1700 +prosumer mobos.
Get a couple of boards and put it into heavy burn-in at full TDP.
I don't see it as any worse a gamble than shitcoins.
Might be a 2-for-1 deal, burn them in by mining shitcoin.
Apparently they are pretty good for shitcoins, but a tad power hungry?
Yup, basically this. I can't fathom building a server with only 64GB of RAM in 2018 but that's just me and my business model. For me the more cores and more RAM the better, but you have to decide what is best for your business model and the Ryzen CPUs are fine models as long as you don't need extremely fast RAM (or don't mind experimenting with different RAM chips).
Well density is important to a lot of people. Not so much for us, as we have our own DC and we are not full. And we have a lot of older gear that will be due to retire before we run out of space, so in all likelyhood we will free up space when those old machines come off line.
This is especially true in Lithuania, where I never foresee a time our DC will ever be full. For me, it's more performance per watt and per dollar. Since those Ryzen are less than 1/3 the price, but probably about 1/2 the performance, it's economical to go for the Ryzen.
Of course if you are using some software license that is charged on a per machine basis, then of course higher density make sense as you can save on licensing. But that's not the case for the budget VM nodes. Even using a panel like Virtualizor, which costs $9 /node /month is still good with lower density nodes.
