Anyone tried the new AMD Vultr Instances?
Any Yabs? or thoughts on the new instance types?

Just looked at the prices and for the AMD instances they start at 28 USD per instance which is a bit over LES levels.

Vultr is good only for hourly instance. I used to use it as a game server and delete it when done. Cost around $1-2 a month.

Disappointing.
A big change for Vultr. They are now offering segmented resources system rather than the locked-in tiered, which is good becuase if you needed more ram but not CPU it was too bad
Woah, that's a low Geekbench.
I saw the announcement earlier today, and was considering deploying a new instance to replace an old one, but that's kinda looking low where I don't find it so attractive compared to their old High Frequency plans.
One can hope it's just that their nodes are overloaded, but then it's odd coming from a company such as Vultr. Might give it a try later.
For comparison, this is the result of my current instance, which is part of the old High Frequency plans:

Also, this is for the dedicated resources. The new "Cloud Compute" has both plans for what were Cloud Compute ($5/mo $10/mo etc.) and High Frequency ($6/mo $12/mo etc.) plans.
They got rid of the high freq $6/m plan? I used that a little and it was great, oh well. For $6/m now it's harder to compete with Hetzner.
looks weak.
I bench YABS 24/7/365 unless it's a leap year.
Again:
They are divided in each category, of older and newer processors.
Oh I see, the high frequency plans are still there at the same prices as before, and hopefully the same overall specs. Sounds good. I see they now have a $2.50/month 0.5gb plan. Maybe I can switch my $5 plan to that, for my super low traffic nextcloud. Thanks.
Does the location matters? Because I deployed it in Singapore region.
Github
Actually I am dumb. I didn't notice that you had gotten a 1.69 Gbits/sec in Florida.
My first YABS is from Miami, however, this one is from my old High Frequency Singapore instance:

But at least that's a relief, got scared for a moment. Excuse me.
I wonder if results are somehow different in CPU score etc. now, but considering CPU clock speed is lower... Yeah. It's disappointing.

So the new AMD plans are pretty disappointing for the price and the hype, especially since the older Intel CPUs beat them (albeit by a little, but still), and even the NVMe drives are better than what they threw on the newer nodes. And I bet they're still not RAID'd.
Noted.
I still don't understand why the clock speed is so low, though.
Somehow I got higher single core score on 2c4g

Epyc 7713 base clock is 2.0 GHz, but can be boosted to 3.675 GHz. YABS only show the base clock I think.
Github
It shows the current CPU clock speed. Generally you'd have expected them to set it to always 3.675 GHz, like most providers having a CPU that can boost frequencies.
The other YABS looks promising, but I'm still not fond of the disk speed.
Boost freq is only available when temperature allows it. If you run something compute intensive on all cores, the chip heats up and runs at base freq. Threadripper is single socket but has higher base freq so they are the fastest single chips.
