So Zap got two purchases from me yesterday, a new lifetime and an upgrade on an old lifetime, lol.

Echo that. Damn, the new one is totally an idler exacly because the old one got upgraded and is an epyc, and the new is a qemu in molasses.
old:
Processor : AMD EPYC 7763 64-Core Processor
Single Core | 1298
Multi Core | 3998
new:
Processor : QEMU Virtual CPU version 2.5+
Single Core | 410
Multi Core | 1137

I've found that my Germany VPS is still on the old Xeon, but Ashburn (the one I upgraded) and LA (the new one) are both Epyc. I did ask them once, a few months ago, about upgrading the Germany one, but at the time they said there wasn't any capacity at the time.

Well... That was too good to pass up. I bought another!

Somehow I ended up grabbing all their locs

Hopefully no deadpool soon

I have old Xeon in Eygelshoven (Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2650 v2) although I have EPYC in a random VM I spin up with credits
AMD EPYC 7763 in Ashburn, Dallas & Los Angeles

As a side note, Zap started announcing 2a0c:3580::/29 in Eygelshoven quite recently (and 2a0c:3580::1 is pingable), so most likely IPv6 coming soon

Seems like many of us bought a vps again That said, 50% off was too good to miss

I also just bought a VPS at the German location, and the infrastructure I received is Xeon V4. It seems like the transition to the new infrastructure allows me to do that. I will update YABS next time.

Which game?

I sometimes run a Fika SPT server to play some coop Tarkov with a few friends.

It probably is the worst optimized game that I am aware of. As I run a headless client that hosts the whole game, it is very resource intensive at times. It needs very strong single threads scores and can easily consume up to 16GB of RAM.

I tried on my 2680v2 dedi and it wasn't a pleasant experience.

Is germany data center SkyLink in Eygelshoven?
