I am wondering who is providing the information? Vultr list their "Dedicated" as 8 CPU, when it is not dedicated by Cloud VM, which I presume it is shared. And its CPU are not CPU Core but CPU Threads.

These differences make the comparison a harder. Because in Dedicated you talk Core count, in Cloud VM you talk Thread Count ( vCPU ).

Sorry about that! They should all be cores rather than threads. In the case of Vultr, we get the information from their API: https://api.vultr.com/v1/plans/list_baremetal - "cpu_count":8

Usually, we rely on our own database for core count and speed, but Vultr doesn't actually mention the CPU model in their API either.

For now, I've hardcoded a fix in our backend and I've contacted Vultr whether they can clear up their API in regards to cores vs threads.

Thanks for letting us know! :)

P.S: Every offer has a "Is some information missing or inaccurate? Let us know!" link at the bottom, in case you find more mistakes.

Just read your message again, please note the dedicated plan for Vultr is not shared, it's bare metal: https://www.vultr.com/pricing/baremetal/

The other plans are VPSs, which are indeed shared. :)
