> There are plenty of other cloud and bare metal hosting providers who actually pass on the savings as hardware value improves.

It would help them and us if you would list them. :)

Not GP, but OVH Cloud is really cheap. Some people have had issues with OVH reliability, but I've only had success. I use AWS for prod, and a mix of Digital Ocean and OVH for non-prod.

OVH bare metal is what we use when we need cheap raw horsepower. Mentioning them is usually controversial, which is why I refrained in my parent comment, but we’ve had nothing but success.

OVH, DigitalOcean, Hetzner (for EU).

Currently renting a dedicated 48-core + HT (so 96 virtual cores), 64GB RAM, 2TB SSD, 10Gb WAN right this moment for ~$500/month as a buildserver.

That would cost 10x on AWS/Azure/GCP.
