Why a Ryzen instead of an Epyc in a data center?


b/c it's a cheap hoster. they use a lot of desktop cpu's.

afaik their most popular product is the EX4x line with a i7-6700.


Hetzner is known for this.

I had a hetzner server for years and now again.

Normal consumer hardware without any magic for very good prices.

I made even 10tb traffic and run Rosetta 24/7 for 2 years without any issues.

Just expect downtime if that's your only server and it breaks.

The last few years it got really crazy what you get for 50bucks a month.


Also cause the 5950x is likely for many workloads faster which do not linearly scale across more cores than a zen2 epyc (since zen3 has huge singlethread performance improvements)
