\"Always<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re making 2025 a year of constant improvement at Contabo. We’ve been listening to what you want: faster servers, better performance, and prices that won\u2019t make your wallet cry. Over the past months, we’ve been quietly working on a major upgrade to our infrastructure that delivers on all three fronts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The New CPUs on the Block <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In December, we started looking at the newest AMD EPYC Turin 9555P processors for our virtualization hosts fleet. We’ve now deployed hundreds of these powerful CPUs in our Hub Europe and US Central locations, and we\u2019re excited by the results. This isn’t just any upgrade \u2013 it represents a significant leap in how efficiently we can run your workloads.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Why should I care about your new CPUs?” you ask. Fair question. Here’s the straightforward answer: these processors let us fit more virtual machines on each physical server while significantly improving performance. Our tests show we can host up to three times<\/strong> the number of VPS instances <\/strong>with just twice the power usage compared to our previous CPU generation, without cutting back on performance. Of course, we pass the savings directly on to you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Real-World Benefits <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When we explain processor upgrades, it\u2019s easy to get stuck in technical details. But what matters is what these improvements mean for you in practical terms: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. More stable performance<\/strong>
    With more processing headroom, your VPS instances experience fewer resource conflicts during peak times. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Better value for your money<\/strong> 
    Higher server efficiency means we can keep offering competitive prices while improving service quality. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Greener hosting<\/strong>
    Hosting three times more VPS instances with only twice the energy means each individual instance has a significantly smaller environmental footprint. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    As Marlo Ehrlich, our Director of Platform Operations, puts it: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n

    In a highly competitive business, we continuously benchmark and evaluate new technologies to ensure optimal customer performance and operational efficiency. After testing the AMD EPYC Turin series CPUs, we saw a noticeable boost in efficiency, allowing us to optimize server density across our data centers.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
