We have our Ryzen lineup in India:

The results were rather mediocre. Not bad bad but significantly worse than quite many other provider's offers (in that range, ca. €5/mo, so not super-cheap). IIRC it even was Ryzen VPS.

Remember: the system needs memory for both the data (or at least a significant chunk of it) and the file. Now add the fact that linux caches drives & files very aggressively which means that i

4x Sticks is a lot more of a struggle. Intel is more memory stable than Ryzen and what I posted was for DDR4 Ryzen chips (Zen 2 and higher). Zen 1 took a lot of time before the bios firmware made 3200

It's also dependent on the Ryzen CPU's memory controller which can vary between CPUs and might need adjusting timings and voltages for populating 4x single rank or 2x dual rank DIMMs are >DDR5-

The Ryzen 5 3600 is not the best Hetzner deal. Let's focus on the bigger question, if any provider can match Hetzner's price/performance on their top deals.

The OP asks for an equivalent to a Ryzen 5 3600.

based on the configuration of AMD Ryzen 5 3600, 64GB RAM, x2 512GB NVME SSD

And here is the GeekBench6 that came later. What you is what you will get very close pretty much guaranteed. I've seen GB6 of AMD EPYC and Ryzen at 10% of a true single core results on GeekBench sit

Possible answer: The Ryzen needs more RAM because it is using NVMe instead of the SSD that is in the E3? So it's not the single threaded sha256sum that makes the difference here? Instead it's the diff

In this scenario, ram is useful as the storage io is the constraint, because you can cache the file into ram. E3 requires less io because it runs checksum slower than the Ryzen. It's not that Ryzen VP

The kind provider and I finally got around to testing, as @zakkuuno suggested, with increased RAM on the Ryzen VPS.

I'd suggest you test on a smaller file (~3G) and load the file into ramdisk for both ryzen and e3 servers to compare the results.

Because there is contention for resources on the Ryzen VPS (doesn't sound like you are the sole user of that server) while on the E3 machine you alone are using it. I'm not suggesting the Ryzen VPS is
