Interesting, I missed this announcement. This is definitely a step in the right direction to competing for CPU bound workloads. "Achieve up to 4x more CPU performance on High CPU vs Standard Droplets." I guess we can take this to mean that standard droplets virtual CPUs are contended at 4:1 - I would of thought it be higher.

You should also check out Vultr's dedicated core plans [1]. I have ~50 instances running on Vultr and CPU performance / unixbench scores are significantly better than DO and Lightsail's similar sized instances.
