There must have been some to be able to call it mystery and say minimum 1650v4
Just more orders than CPU model existence worldwide...
There is definitely some as I have both but my point is how many mystery’s got ordered that day considering it was a 1 day sale thing for them to run out of the E5 1650 v3/v4
I wouldn't ask these questions, you might get baguetted by the french.
They didn't run out of. The whole point of the KS-MYSTERY was, that you could also get better CPUs, more RAM, more storage. It was like a lootbox with 80% 1650 and 20% better CPUs
Yes, but I will only believe that as soon as @allthemtings transfers a e2288g with 128GB and 2x2TB NVMe to my OVH account...
(so far I have only ever had hands on those E5-1650v4 but none of the E2288g).
Im not sure…hundreds if not thousands of invoices got generated from this forum alone I can’t imagine world wide as I know a certain Chinese forum went crazy with this, and most orders got paid for and delivered that day with e5s sure majority got cancelled and refunded or even traded out but they don’t go straight back into the pool to reorder. I’m not sure how many e5s they have racked and available but I’m sure they found out that day, 99% of the upgraded CPUs came well after they stopped delivering the e5s as people kept invoices and paid them days after the sale ended (probably partly why you can’t do this anymore on these type of sales invoices expire within 1 day now and it was previously 2 weeks or more afaik) the same happened previous years with LE servers anyone who kept unpaid invoices after the sale ended was more likely to hit something big due to the “standard”
Maybe you’re right but I’m pretty sure none of the big upgrades came the same day as the sale I would guess they didn’t want to have to cancel and refund hundreds of servers like they had to with KS-A or LE-B when they got wayyy over sold
KS-Mystery sale was planned for France only and got way out of hand by those API buyers all over the world.
So they got into the "all DC hands on deck" situation where they threw in anything they had in gear at those DCs.
Anyway, please post YABS if someone has the balls to order one.
As this is 3d delivery you would have to take a yabs for E5-1650v4 from KS-Mystery sale (for now or wait three days). What RAM amount would suite you?
Only difference is the 1G/1G network with this KS-Mystery (compared to 500mps on KS-5-B).
I'd love to see a YABS from the KS-Mystery. Do you have one with 32GB RAM? (just like the one I ordered).
Just posted one (right at the same time with your post), see here: https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/comment/4728829/#Comment_4728829 but that one is with 64GB - afaik there were no KS-Mystery w/ just 32GB....
16GB too, kinda funny though.
December 2026: new dedicated servers w/ 512MB ram. Welcome new world.
Not sure why I expected higher single/multi core scores! But you run it on 1.2Ghz, would surely be higher if set to it's max of 4Ghz, would it not?
Thanks for providing the YABS though!
The 1.2Ghz is whatever speed the CPU was running at when the script was started, during the benchmark the cpu is at full speed.
Yepp, and remember: gb6 multicore is pretty broken and max cpu is 4000 Mhz for E5-1650v4 while e.g. the (KS-5) E3-1270v6 has 4200 Mhz (but only 4 cores instead of 6 so lower multicore).
Yeah I was kinda thinking that myself since the script is pretty heavy on the server load. But yeah, I kind of expected higher numbers. But it is a 10 year old CPU so maybe a bit naive of me!
Still good horses to pull a carriage but not to win a horse race but the KS-5-B is not that good esp. with the 500mps. On the other side you won't find that power for that price at e.g. Hetzner or anywhere in the UK.
Yeah that's true. To be honest, for my use case it will be more than enough. I host a few game servers for a game that is ~23 years old and a few smaller websites, so it will be plenty of resources for that.
I will use this while I search for something better, newer that is reasonably priced.
I have a really good VPS from a summer deal, but nothing really beats dedicated resources!
And for the record:
no difference with performance governor as explained by @fredo1664 before.
It's a Mystery?
For record, this is my 2024 KS-LE-E (I thought v4 would be better than v3) :
The stars must have been in alignment
The kernel version matters as well, which could explain the difference.
That said, it's essentially the same CPU, just with about a 200 MHz higher boost.
So there 1650v4 is probably slighly more performant but not that much.
Geekbench v4 is far more accurate for 12 vcores
Stop using geekbench 6, it's crap... except to compare single core performance
But still with less Mhz max the bingo_jake v3 outperforms the v4 in single core gb6. Debian with newer kernel?
v4 should be about 10% better in single and multi core:

Any deliveroooo today? YABS?
Just got mine 2mins ago! Will post a YABS here shortly.
