Linode Guessing Linode's next server cpus ?

Linode's next cpus are AMD EPYC 2 Rome https://twitter.com/linode/status/1159575023927140352

---

 

Curious if Linode users seem AMD EPYC cpus other than 7451/7501/7601 ???

 

@jlchandler sighted new AMD EPYC ROME 7542 on Linode https://twitter.com/jlchandler/status/1310413361344061441

 

Just upgraded one of my client's Linode servers from old E5-26xx v4 Broadwell based CPUs and surprised they landed on latest AMD EPYC 7713 3rd generation Milan cpus!!!

Using Linode's custom 5.19.2 Linux Kernel which is optimal for AMD EPYC too

It's all relative, try getting a quote for dedicated server with 40Gbit/s in and 10Gbit/s out network connectivity and then spec'ing out 1920GB of fast SSD/NVMe redundant storage.

Linode also allows cloning and one click migration (when initiated from Linode support side) of your VPS to other datacenters or VPSes at relatively fast speeds. I've had my Linode VPS one click migrated to other servers by Linode at rates of 200MB/s of faster

 

Yeah. The right tool, for the right job. If you're doing external remote backup/restores and want to do them in a timely manner for terabytes of data, you'd need a fast network

True. There's a few Black Friday 2022 deals going on too for cheap VPS https://community.centminmod.com/th...g-com-black-friday-2022-50-off-kvm-vps.23478/

 

Folks may have noticed this forum is a bit snappier page load wise. Linode migrated the forums to a new host node switching me from ancient Intel Xeon E5-2680v4 Broadwell-EP to AMD EPYC 7713 Milan processor

Migrating server was a simple one button click in Linode dashboard and only took ~8 minutes to migrate! One of the reasons I still use Linode as where else can you migrate a 160GB disk server in just 8 minutes? That's like ~341MB/s




AMD EPYC 7713 Milan vs Intel Xeon E5-2680v4 Broadwell-EP

https://www.cpu-world.com/Compare/645/AMD_EPYC_7713_vs_Intel_Xeon_E5-2680_v4.html

AMD EPYC 7713 has

• new cpu
• faster and higher turbo boost clocks
• faster memory bandwidth
• larger L1, L2 and L3 caches

Could be though my Linode still reports Fremont, CA

 

Yeah they're coming https://www.linode.com/blog/linode/a-bold-new-approach-to-the-cloud/

 

I'd imagine part of the delays would be supply chain issues? Especially, on AMD EPYC side.
