New AMD EPYC-based Compute Engine family, now in beta

Re:New AMD EPYC-based Compute Engine family, now in beta by 867-5309 on Tuesday February 18, 2020 @06:31PM (#22361558)

no pricing mentioned

I was surprised to discover the other day that one of my VPSs had been upgraded from 1 old Xeon 26XX core to 2 EPYC cores. other stats unmetered 10Gb/s up/down, low latency A'dam location, 2GB RAM, SSD.. it even outperformed my i7-8700T in a single-core openSSL benchmark. most importantly it costs €3/mo

I really can't see google competing with that

Euros is not the same as US Dollar

569 Euro equals 613.73 United States Dollar

Right. Either way it's a little over 3 USD/month..

I think technically it's 1Gb/s but it must be on a 10Gb/s plane as it bursts at around 3Gb/s

Most likely 10Gbps shared pipe.

The pings times may not be as good to France (or Europe in general), but the bandwidth provisions are much more generous than the USA. They have peering agreements with other ISPs, so hopefully a lot of the transit of that bandwidth ends up being "free" to them. Even on a 100Mbps line, I was able to push 30TB a month, so it is possible if you there is enough demand for the data.
