QuickPacket Xeon E3 vs NetCup RS 2000 G9
Not much science in this but might be of interest to people. My web site has a near 50/50 split between US / EU audience.
So I got a QuickPacket Dedicated E3 (E3-1270v2) at 25 euro a month (30 USD) in the US and tried it against a NetCup RS 2000 G9 (AMD EPYC 7702P) at 16 euro a month so see what an older dedicated vs the new AMD chips might look like.

In my eyes both providers are production grade, would you choose the VPS from NetCup or the dedicated from QuickPacket?
If anyone has a 16GB RAM at a similar cost bench mark from a similar provider would also be interested to see.
Comments
Netcup obviously offers much better disk performance which will be noticeable if you're running a DB heavy website for example, I would imagine the QP dedicated is on HDDs?
CPU wise the VPS isn't too far behind the Dedicated despite being 4 "cores" vs 8.
Sorry should have said quickpacket is a 500 GB SSD
Singular SSD also means you have no data redundancy, have backups regardless but if that disk dies you're offline until you get the server set backup and restored.
The VPS would definitely be my choice in that case.
