EPYC 7551, Oracle free AMD, not Ryzen though, the lowest score by far?
mine is R9 5950X actually but yeah it's great XD
@sonu very interesting. We can clearly see its limited, but .. I mean is free!!! Decent.
@chali whose your provider? Beautiful bench!
The script see it as an EPYC. uhmmm very cool. Did you noticed it says EPYC?
yes, maybe because host passthrough is not enabled on the provider side.
Which VPS is this?> @cybertech said:
Is this a dedi?
ooh, I've got a couple, let's join in...
BuyVM old 512mb slice, this has been fantastic but it's sat idle most of the last year and I'm letting it go at the end of the year.
CrownCloud, this offered quite a few cores for the price, but it looks like it might be a little crowded, some of the lowest 5950x scores I've seen. At this price, I probably won't keep this.

No, it won't. intel's single core performance still seems to be a bit ahead but (a) that's just one (1) criterion among others, and usually not the decisive one on servers, and (b) the difference isn't that large.
Oh and btw. us customers usually not really using (and needing) the performance we think or feel to need is pretty much the basis for you providers making a living, especially in the LE market.
I don't because frankly, Epyc is not, nor is it meant to be, a speed daemon. It is a "damn ton of decent cores" with quite OK performance at an attractive price compared to intel's prices.
Don't get me wrong, I happily purchase Epyc based VPS because I understand the market and the deal. Epyc boils down to (a) usually damn good good enough performance, and (b) reasonable to attractive costs due to both many cores, many PCIe lanes and lower cost (than intel processors). But still, I pretty much consider Epyc a cheaper E5-26xx "v5" with lots of cores - and that's also what I see when benchmarking: Epycs aren't exciting in terms of performance (I've seen a few faster 26xx v4) but in terms of economics.
Ryzens are different beasts. They are also about 'more cores' but mainly about performance - at a decent price.
Let's also keep in mind that the vast majority of us does not actually need the performance they think they need and that a processor is just one piece in the puzzle. For example I can't remember to ever have seen some application running 5 or 10 times faster after replacing a 5 year old processor by an up to date one; I do however remember performance increasing by a factor of 5 or even 10 thanks to better and/or up to date software, and in far more than just one case.
Finally let's not forget the real game and its rule, especially in the LE segment - and that's where intel's real advantage is, for some time at least: it's about scale and cost, and there the difference is somewhere between 5 and 10 in favour of intel. Simple reason: a second hand 26xx v4 costs about 1/10th of an Epyc system. When my revenue per vCore is < $5, as is often the case in the LE segment, then having costs of $2.5 per month and core vs 50 cents can make the difference between making a profit vs. going belly up.
Which also translates to Epyc based nodes highly likely being broken down into more vCores per core than an E5-26xx v4. Which is why I do look with interest at "boring" 26xxv4 offers but tend to be mistrusting towards Epyc offers.
BUT: intel is running out of time. As time passes by more AMD Zen systems become available on the second hand market.
