What CPU does each plan use?
Your plan determines your CPU, and CPU is one of the biggest factors in Minecraft performance. Here's what powers each tier.
CPU by tier
- Budget plans run on AMD EPYC hardware — great value for smaller servers.
- Supreme and Ultimate plans run on AMD Ryzen 7 7700 in Germany and AMD EPYC 4244P in New York. Both are modern Zen 4 chips with strong single-thread performance — the thing that most affects Minecraft TPS.
Why single-thread speed matters
Minecraft's main game loop leans heavily on one core, so per-core speed usually matters more than the number of cores. For a demanding modpack or a busy server, the Supreme and Ultimate tiers will hold TPS better.
Tip: If TPS is your concern, Supreme and Ultimate are the tiers to look at, in either location.
Frequently asked questions
Which is better for a big modpack? Supreme or Ultimate (Ryzen 7700 in Germany, EPYC 4244P in New York) — their single-thread speed holds TPS under load.
Do Germany and New York use the same CPU? No. Supreme and Ultimate run on the Ryzen 7 7700 in Germany and the EPYC 4244P in New York. Both are Zen 4 with similar per-core speed, so pick the location closest to your players.
Is Budget's EPYC hardware slow? Not at all — it's excellent value for smaller and lighter servers. Supreme and Ultimate just pull ahead under heavy load.
