Providers using AMD Ryzen CPU's for a server?
Creativity

in General
Are any providers using the new Ryzen CPU's? What about the Ryzen threadripper, having 32 cores seems very handy for a VPS node.
Are these CPU's suitable for use as a server since they have ECC support? If not then why?

I know @HostDoc and @seriesn have Ryzen and @delong has EPYC. I vouch for all 3 of those providers.
I'm not sure if there are other decent providers on LET that may offer them, I can't vouch for those..
We had some odd issues with Ryzen 3950x deployments on OpenVZ7, so we phased them all out.
Better use EPYC for VPS servers.
Pure NVMe SSD LA
3vCores @ 3.8Ghz (Ryzen 3900X)
3GB RAM
45GB NVMe SSD
1TB Bandwidth @ 10gbps
ExtraVM does and has offered Ryzen servers for some time now, @MikeA runs a steady ship.
We are currently looking into offering some TR builds while looking at some East coast DC's to put them into.
Ryzen is a bit more tricky since AMD themselves do not support/verify ECC, with the exception of Pro CPU's, on them and leave it to the motherboard makers discretion to implement, at least to the best of my knowledge.
Ultimately if they are usable for a server depends on use case, DC restraints, and time/money to name a few.
@dahartigan Thanks for the vouch!
We mostly stick to using EYPC systems however we have had some other builds using Ryzen and threadripper.
Most of the Threadripper systems we see right now are from our colocation customers they seem to work great for them.
Pretty much any ECC UDIMM works fine with all Ryzen CPUs. Never had a problem.
Two are whitelisted, one is pending. I can vouch for all three too.
Thanks for the mention Boys! Definitely add @MikeA to that list too. He was AMD before AMD was cool.
Yes! @MikeA is another whitelisted provider worthy of supporting with your wallet!
Hetzner recently added a Ryzen line.
Gen 1 and 2 EPYC here.
I saw ip-projects is using ryzen for dedicated servers: https://www.ip-projects.com/products/amd-premium-dedicated-server/
@MikeA is prem
Try this https://www.wholesaleinternet.net/dedicated/
AMD Ryzen 3800X 64GB + 2x480GB SSD Preconfig
3.9GHz / 4.5 GHz Turbo
8 Cores / 16 Threads
I'm using one of Hetzners ryzen 5 3600 as a vps host (with ecc upgrade)
The architecture of Ryzen or Thread Ripper has a very high price / performance ratio compared to Xeon. In fact, they have become more and more common.
Bump for updates as of Sep-2020
Pls mention any other good providers offering Ryzen KVM or Dedicated
Open the offers section
Ctrl f, ryzen
Go through all pages
You're welcome.
2 of our 3 locations are pure Ryzen at this point

One day. When we do start offering over the phone support
They only alive for a month..
Thanks for the recommendations... I was looking for US locations... esp. West Coast (LA/ Vegas) for Ryzen KVMs.
@RackNerd I sent you PM
