    Crazy crazy vps with ECC ram. Saving up real hard for one!

    Thanked by (1)dahartigan

    I bench YABS 24/7/365 unless it's a leap year.

    The first thing that strikes me, I have no idea why the CPU shows up as "AMD EPYC" when it's a Ryzen. This could be some hypervisor thing, and it really makes no difference because the clock speed matches what the Ryzen is, and the results speak for themselves.

    I suspect because it is a very new Ryzen, the kernel may not be updated. Try using one of the newest kernel and see if it reports correctly.

    Is there EPYC 2 vps?

    Do we have a 7002 series? Not yet. Hopefully we'll have some by this time next year though!

    Nice! =D

    I just unwrapped this beauty and ran a bench because I've been dying to see how high of a geekbench score I could get on a server. The things we do to amuse ourselves, eh? ;)

    This is the L version of this Ryzen 3950X VPS package from Bandit Host.

    The first thing that strikes me, I have no idea why the CPU shows up as "AMD EPYC" when it's a Ryzen. This could be some hypervisor thing, and it really makes no difference because the clock speed matches what the Ryzen is, and the results speak for themselves.

    Check out that freaking score. 5972 single core performance and with 4 threads you get 18462 which checks out. Holy shit that's fast. Kind of blowing my mind fast.

    This is definitely a premium VPS. Excellent CPU performance, excellent network (I've had no glitches since being a customer) and the support is fantastic.

    I'm still trying to get my head around how freaking fast this thing is. I think my next experiment will be to temporarily shift my Plex server there, which is currently on a 12 vCPU EPYC VPS, and see how it performs. My average utilization on the EPYC is around 15-20% so this would definitely put it through its paces (and probably push the boundary of fair use, so I'll really need to consider how long the test should run)

    If there was anything to complain about it would be the confusion with the CPU showing as EPYC, but that's too trivial to even bother me, just that it's literally the only negative I could think of lol :)

    In closing, I think this is an extremely awesome product and I'm really excited to see how the product lineup evolves during 2020 given the 2 offers so far have been amazing AMD gear with a really decent network and great interactions with support. I've kicked myself in the past for not getting in early with new providers after the prices go up, so my advice is get these while they're hot.

    Thanks for the bench and kind words!
    If you give your VPS a reboot it should start popping up as a 3950x now ;) haha

    That's much better! Thanks for fixing that so quickly, a working example of that awesome customer service I mentioned :-)

  • I'm extremely impressed at how strong these cores are on the plow. I would say that 4 cores of this beast is the equivalent in Plex terms as 8 cores of most intel processors.

    The other very impressive thing is the full 1 gbit speed from google drive is possible, I haven't used many networks where that's the case, for example LA seems really bad.

    Haven't seen full usage of the Plex server yet, but over the next 24 hours I will see how it performs :-)

    You mean pulling from GDrive into a LA node?

    I have very, very compelling evidence that his network is exothermic potassium to APAC. Will be done testing in Jan 2020 and you will see what I mean.

    Thanked by (1)uptime
  • An update for anyone interested. I have moved my Plex over to the Ryzen L to see how it performs and I have noticed that things are much faster, especially with transcoding. The CPU usage is actually significantly lower than when run on Intel processors, as is the system load.

    I was shocked to see that without any change to the usage pattern, this seriously outperforms everything else this has run on. The crazy part is my 24 hour CPU usage average is 9% for 4 threads of Ryzen whereas previously it was 15% on 12 EPYC threads with the same load.

    I think I'll continue this experiment for a month and update my findings in a week, perhaps I need to work on a Plex benchmark to somehow quantify this.

    The Ryzens have a significantly higher clock speed and CPU cache. I wasn't expecting lowered CPU usage on four cores though. Looks like Ryzen is the next frontier for media streaming.

    It was a complete shock to me, but I will see over the next week how it goes. I'm super conscious of my CPU usage so if it starts to get closer to 25% I'll panic-move it back.

    It certainly won't be long before a 4 core vps can run Plex transcodes comfortably

    I bench YABS 24/7/365 unless it's a leap year.

  • I hope I can win the new year’s prize

    did you purchase anything ? I think they will only upgrade resource when you buy VPS, no feebie.

  • Yes, I grab Ryzen L Plan.
    The cpu ia Beast!

  • I'm extremely happy with my Banditos, the EPYC and the Ryzen are working very smoothly - not even breaking a sweat - dragging the plow along with conviction.

    If I had to choose which one to keep, I wouldn't be able to decide. I think I will keep both just to avoid having to choose.

    Haha that's hilarious :-) I'm always stalking and prowling forums, bumpin' threads, droppin' benches, kickin' my 2 cents in, ya know? :-)

    You actually get an A+ for effort, all jokes aside, I'm very impressed with the service and performance and I'm sure others would definitely agree with me on that.

    It's probably easier to calculate the exact number of potassium atoms in the universe than it is to decide which of these to keep.

    My preferred approach is to keep both and assume the universe is one giant potassium atom.
