Go for linode; 8 cores for $.24/hour
what specs for hard drive and RAM do you need?
If CPU type doesnt matter, have a look at scaleway
LunaNode, iwStack
dedicated cores or burstable?
OVH France i think
Cloud 4 - 2017
8 vCPU
8 GB RAM
50 GB SSD NVMe
2 IPv4
IPV6 Available
1Gbps unmetered
€8.93

dedicated
Then why not go fully dedicated instead of virtual? As in Hetzner/OVH/Online.net.
If you don't require ECC RAM, the new Ryzen server from Hetzner is the best deal you can get: https://www.hetzner.de/ot/hosting/produkte_rootserver/ax60ssd
doesn't have to be large, but not terribly small. 8gb+ ram
VPS nodes are generally significantly higher spec than a regular dedi, as such the cost per core will be much higher for fully dedicated VPS cores, you will get a much cheaper price for fully dedicated cores with a dedicated server.
Obviously, if you just want dedicated cores at a vps price.. best of luck to you.

If you want something EVEN CHEAPER:

Just rent dedicated server it will be more powerfull and cheaper
I was answering the question: "dedicated cores or burstable?"
OH sweet. Good find. But sucks that I can't filter by # of cores.
But are these bare metal or VPS?
yes, I understand that, and you said: dedicated
to put that in context, 16 dedicated cores is 2 x E3 processors (2 physical servers), or on an E5 it is more than 1 entire CPU, if you want dedicated, you want them all for yourself i.e. no one else can use them.
So a VPS is possible with 16 dedicated cores.. but frankly a dedicated server will be cheaper, expect to pay about $50 - $100 for a dedicated server with 8 cores (or 16 threads) depending on the age of the server.
For a VPS with 16 cores, double or triple that.
CPU is the most scarce resource on a VPS node.
Not having a go at you, just explaining my perspective.
Mmm, i see your point. Any thoughts on scaleway?
Crap per-core performance due to being hosted on atoms. Multiply your request with 2 for the amount of cores you actually have to buy to get the same performance.
Go with hetzner.
Well, Hetzner doesn't normally have dual socket so you can filter for Xeon E5. And they will be significantly more expensive than the Ryzen 1700X machine.
Out of interest, why do you need 8-16 cores exactly? 8 Atom or ARM cores don't compare to 8 Xeon/Ryzen cores, pure core count doesn't really mean much.
@taewoo
All baremetal. Though, they should do just fine if you can find one with 8 cores.
For example, there's one with 8 threads for 31 euros/month, with a Intel Xeon E3-1245V2 CPU.
Or, this one with an Intel Core i7-980x, for 30.25 euros/month, which comes with 6 cores/12 threads.
Likewise, if you go with Kimsufi, this one costs 25 euros/month, you'll get the full 8 cores with the KS-5.
The Scaleway performance instances are on D-1531 though those have just 6 physical cores.
I tried a 16 core(thread?) Vultr for an hour or two just for laughs and it was a bit faster than my Hetzner i7-3770 but not by all that much. OVH also has large hourly instances which didn't do all that great at Geekbench considering their cost.
Basically I'd suggest looking for ways to parallelize your problem over multiple smaller vps or dedis.
So the Hetzner 3770 is almost the same compared to Vultrs maximum offering? You have the comparison or benchmark? May pick up a 3770 possibly. Was thinking the Vultr and Scaleway work load servers would blow that out of the water... I guess it was hype.
The Scaleway D-1531 is about the same as the i7-3770. The big Vultr was maybe 1.5x the i7 but it wasn't 5x or anything like that. I think I posted some numbers when I did that a few months ago but don't know how to find the post now. You're better off scaling to multiple boxes if your problem allows it.
30 euro on netcup RS 4000 ?
12 core of E5 2680 v4 , 24 GB DDR4 , 120GB SSD or 960 GB SAS , raid 10.
only downside with it is network limit , 1gbps port for share and can't occupy over 80 mbps more than 15 minutes.
unmanaged
Basically a LARGE computation set. I'm running quant financnce models so my servers are constantly being bombarded with high CPU usage. i.e. high permutation algorithms that take anywhere between 20s to 1min.. but shitload of them
By the way, thanks to everyone for the suggestions.
Completely random but how on earth do these bare metal guys stay in business if I'm maxing out the CPU 24x7? Im not data center finance guru, but im guessing rent + electricity (i know it's much more expensive in EU than in US, for example) + overhead must be well below what they charge, but still.. havnig a hard tme understanding how they make money. If anyone knows the finances, would glad if you can point out URL or something.
Netcup page says "Root Server - combines adventages of dedicatet and virtual server". So what on earth does that mean? I'm assuming these are real cores.. not vCPU.
While not a fully dedicated server, Netcup's root servers come with dedicated threads. You can max them 24x7.
my personal understanding is that a VPS with dedicated resources , CPU , RAM and disk.
and yes ,they are real core , E5 2680 v4, and like @saibal said , you can max them out 24x7
Taewoo, yeah, get some dedis, maybe with gpu's if your software can use them. I wouldn't mess with vps for something like this, if you're using the cpu a lot. There's no free lunch.
