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 7700, which has 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 Ryzen tiers will hold TPS better.
Tip: If TPS is your concern, the Ryzen-based Supreme and Ultimate tiers are the ones to look at.
Frequently asked questions
Which is better for a big modpack? The Ryzen 7700 tiers (Supreme/Ultimate) — their single-thread speed holds TPS under load.
Is Budget's EPYC hardware slow? Not at all — it's excellent value for smaller and lighter servers. The Ryzen tiers just pull ahead under heavy load.
Minecraft pricing runs from $0.80/GB on Budget to $2.75/GB on Ultimate — compare the Minecraft plans.
