    Lucky you get the 7713. It's the best CPU so far for Linode.

    Wow! I didn't know that. That's cool.

    Just a heads up, it appears that the IP block allocated for the Chicago site is exclusively upstreamed to Akamai, as shown by the similar traceroute results to Akamai CDN.
    For instance, see: https://bgp.tools/prefix/172.232.0.0/19.

    Yes, I don't know if Linode has better CPU than EPYC 7713 (Milan) at the moment, as i last benchmarked it months ago (February 2023). It's very hard to get EPYC 7713, the most common CPU you will get are EPYC 76x2 (Rome), or 76x1 (Naples).

    Oh, wow. It appears as though you've conducted extensive research on this topic. I just got to know that in Washington DC, the premium plan guarantees performance which comes with 7713 or higher.

    This plan is only available in the Washington, DC region.

Premium CPU instances guarantee a minimum processor model, AMD Epyc™ 7713 or higher, to ensure consistent high performance for more demanding workloads.

    That is really impressive. I suppose enabling BBR might yield improved results for you. Their network has notably improved since being acquired by Akamai.

    Looking at Akamais upstreams, they sure do stand out

    You are right. I am still waiting for them directly connecting to Akamai in Toronto location😌
