(/discussion/comment/4826435/#Comment_4826435):
Yea I was also thinking about it, cuz I previously saw some other deals before coming on the forum and they have the following specs(previously crawled from this forum, but the promo has expired):
HK Dedicated Server
Dual Intel Xeon E5-2630v4 Processors
32GB DDR4 RECC RAM
480GB SATA SSD
40TB Traffic @ 1Gbps Port
1* /32 IPv4 address
1* /112 IPv6 block
I'm not advertising for anyone btw, just a mention for the specs I saw before.
The price is 55USD/mo, so I think this could be a baseline.
Usually high-frequency compute refers to the ability for the core to have a high boost. It's the difference between boosting +200 MHz and boosting +1500 MHz. For a VPS, this means having very few neighbors so the core is actually able to achieve boost when you need it, and it means having a CPU that focuses on single-threaded performance like a Ryzen.
Most processors designed for VMs and similar workloads will have a large number of relatively slow cores with limited boost ability so a provider can cram the node full of VMs without scaring off everyone with insane CPU steal. These cores are usually spending most of their time servicing other VMs even if yours is idle, so it has little room to boost when you need it. Most AMD EPYC processors are like that. Compare that with Ryzen CPUs which have fewer cores, but faster cores. If a provider uses a Ryzen, they won't be able to put as many VMs on the same node, so they'll have to charge a higher price despite Ryzen being a cheaper processor overall. But for the customer, it's great because the core is nice and "well-rested" when you need a sudden burst of power, so it'll be able to boost to a much higher frequency just for you.
And obviously you can only compare clocks loosely within a given generation due to improvements in the microarchitecture: fewer cycles required to retire a given instruction, better superscalar capabilities giving higher IPC, and so on. But if you're comparing one Zen 4 core at 2.5 GHz with another Zen 4 core at 3.8 GHz, you can generally assume that the latter will be faster. Don't overthink it. In your mind, just replace "high-frequency" with "strong on-demand single-threaded performance" and mind yourself that neither hosting providers nor their clientele are CPU microarchitecture engineers or researchers.
Are you currently using MejiroNetwork? How is it?
If you're looking for a dedi alternative maybe @jayjay from mlnl.host could help:

Unmetered traffic is not really possible to offer in APAC at that price. Their dedis have 15TB, so it should match your requirements.
For a VDS you may take a look at Greencloud ( @NDTN @haodo ) VDS servers in Singapore, Japan or Hong Kong.
The
EPYCVDS-4plan comes close to your requirements for a VDS and costs $40/month. Those plans have 8TB traffic at 10Gbps and use EPYC Milan processors. I believe this is pretty good for a VDS server in APAC.Not sure what is their policy on SMTP port.
Actually I haven't bought one yet so it is currently on my waitlist of purchasing
Any ETA on when SG HFC will be restocked?
Hopefully in the next week (not this week). Hong Kong and Tokyo should be later this week.
Thanks for taking your time, obviously i knew that. All i wanted to know was what the hell hes trying to sell to someone, given that he just posted google, its obvious whats going on. Marketing on vague undefined clockspeeds, what a flashback, fucking hell xD
But as said earlier as well, vultr does the same, here have some "Fast 3GHz+" (WOW, such speed) and nvme, which at least doesnt make it as terrible as it could be, but still pretty shit xD
I cannot fathom how its so hard to tell what cpu line/range youre selling as your definition of "high frequency".
2012, 4 Ghz was "high frequency" now its pretty piss poor, given that "high frequency" now is 6 Ghz and anything else could mean whatever.
Edit: Let alone that it makes a difference on if you get Intel or AMD because, yes, the difference in how they do math......
Amusingly, the top models for overclocking have always been AMD Opteron and Intel Core2Duo, which have both reached something like 9 GHz on a single core under sub-zero and high-voltage conditions. IPC is terrible of course and it's surely slower than a single 2.5 GHz Zen 5c core in any benchmark but cycles per second, but that's still damn impressive!
8TB Data Transfer seems not so enough though
Uhhh @hosthatch did I missed the restock or you guys didn't actually add it yet?
I can provide you with a server with 1 x CPU 2680v4, 32GB RAM, and 800GB SSD for $77. Includes unlimited 1Gbps bandwidth. Location: Vietnam.

Very nice bw offering
Damn, you have a huge offering with unusual countries like Philippines, Indonesia, Chile, Thailand, Latvia, Greece, Israel, Portugal, Korea, Kazakhstan.... Do you resell THE.Hosting or one of their companies? Do you have a looking glass?
Yes, I am an independent company in Vietnam. We sell VPS in several countries; you can find more information here: https://support.trumvps.vn/cart/vps-quoc-te
Of course, we do not resell from anyone.
Where is your looking glass (test IPs)?
Do you accept cryptocurrency payments?
OVH has a data center in Singapore, with prices starting as low as €9.90.
Yes, my looking grass link is: http://103.249.200.109/
and we offer cryptocurrency payments.
Are you for real 1G unmetered bro, I'm sold.
Yes, as long as it's used reasonably.
WOW
Yes, he has server across few countries not a reseller.
