those tiny dedis do have a purpose, e.g. perfect for a tang fleet with sss and quite some spares (distributed across different providers, e.g. there is also a provider in Texas and than RS as well, etc.)
just a simple pi 4 is way faster according to geekbench6. a pi5 is way faster than the 4
Yeah, oldschool Atoms aren't exactly known for their strong performance anyways but in general ARM has some quite capable units by now.
For example RK3588 (https://cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Xeon+E5-1607+v2+%40+3.00GHz&id=2192) vs E5-1607v2 (https://cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Xeon+E5-1607+v2+%40+3.00GHz&id=2192).
Sure it's no killer CPU but it certainly doesn't have to fear some aging Atom and there's probably way better examples. I've just picked a random strong Rockchip that had data available.
Edit: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=ARM+Oryon+12+Core+3417+MHz&id=6869 - whatever that is, it's pretty much Ryzen territory and there's way bigger ones.
for those 5 euro per month a better option is a vds(dedicated cpu virtual server) like the new ones from servarica.
100%. I'm personally also a big fan of dedicated resources (as in fixed by some actual hardware) though, so i see why people would get them even if it's not exactly a perfect money/performance ratio. Well, to be honest i would probably rather add a couple $ and get some bargain bin E3/E5 but the extreme cheapness will regularly still be a factor, i guess.
yeah when the prices are similar and the performance is more predictable without those noisy neighbours.
When it comes to CPU performance it's true, but if you end up on a clogged switch, Scaleway doesn't do anything about it (I had a server from them that was getting 30-50 Mbps at most and they give all possible excuses instead of fixing it).
Not a bad deal, but they offer comes with MUCH less disk capacity (60GB?) than my 1TB HDD (if the speed, disk type not matter), for the same price. But of course depends of the usage type (use case).
Edit: They "Opossum 1 Storage" (out of stock) comes with 1TB HDD, but with 1GB RAM, "1 vCPU Shared", and yearly payments only (I prefer monthly payment).
