3.6Ghz instances on vultr
Don't know if it's under right categ.
Anyone still being still able to launch these 3.6ghz "old style vultr" instances on vultr?
Are these only for existing servers?
All my winblows instances were 2.4 ghz virtual cpus, like Digitalocean offers(Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2630L v2 @ 2.40GHz).
Am not an expert enough to compare these cpus head to head.

Create a script, that is creating instances, check CPU clock and keep it.
They replaced the most nodes with E5 instead of E3 which result in lower clock speed.
They changed to E5 about half a year already.
it's quite simple
E3 offers great for single performance
E5 offers crap single performance but much better multi core
depends on your choice of app, personally i would always choose E3 or G3258 for windows
you can compare @ http://browser.primatelabs.com/
Keep deploying and destroying instances until you get an E3 I guess
If I remember well, https://www.vultr.com/pricing/dedicatedcloud/ have E3.
Again, don't forget about this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megahertz_myth
As @TarZZ92 wrote, the Primate benchmark lists are fine, or try cpuboss.com
In Paris and other 2-3 location, 3mo ago was still 3.6Ghz but now all locations have 2.4. If you have old 3.6 servers , /proc/cpuinfo shows still 3.6 , but idk if is real..
Edit: At 1June was like this: http://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/54255/vultr-cpu-by-locations ( I tested known 3.6 location but now all are 2.4,for me.)
I had one but had to downgrade and could never find enother one. RIP my baby
@TarZZ92
Imagine an E5 in a home PC. The performance would suck sh*t since Windows is terrible in managing resources. My computer has 12GB on 64bit, but only 9GB is usable ._.
wut? My media PC has 16GB and 16GB useable. If you don't use the internal GPU and a 64Bit OS there is zero deduction.
Windows 8.1 leaves about 95% ram available for me
Windows 10 = 99% ram available.
Your RAM is most likely being shared for your GPU :P
What do you do with 24GB of RAM? VMs? Ramdisk? I'm living just fine with 8GB...
Yes, the 3.6GHz are still easy to get, redeploy a few times until you get one - they are for sure in the NJ and LA locations, not sure about the others.

@TheOnlyDK as long as Windows could use it for cache that benefits performance.

I have a dedicated GPU, not an integrated one
