HostBrr Germany Frankfurt AMD Ryzen 9950X Extreme Performance VPS Test and Review
We recently evaluated the HostBrr Germany Frankfurt Extreme Performance VPS (Plan: 9950X-2GBrr). Although the server was expected to run on an AMD Ryzen 9950X, it used an AMD EPYC-Milan Processor (What Happened?). The configuration included 1 Core CPU, 2 GB RAM, 30 GB NVMe Gen4 Storage, a 10 Gbps Internet Port, 5 TB Traffic, and IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
Hello,
The CPU model is correct. However, due to known stability issues with Ryzen systems and the host passthrough feature we unfortunately have needed to disable this. With host passthrough disabled the system cannot correctly identify the CPU model. Rest assured that you are on the correct system and this does not affect performance.
Best regards,
Philip
Our review includes various tests: the Basic Benchmark, Yabs, and Unix Benchmark for performance metrics, the Global Node Test for different location network speeds, and the Global Ping Test for latency measurement. We also use The Media Unlock Test for media accessibility, the CloudFlare Internet Test for connection quality, and web performance evaluations via PageSpeed Insights and GTmetrix.
