Hetzner CX43 CPU spikes to 800% — would a smaller dedicated server perform better?
Hi, I’d like some advice.
Currently I’m using a Hetzner CX43 instance (8 vCPU, 16 GB RAM, 160 GB storage). Sometimes the CPU usage suddenly spikes up to 800%, which causes my panel to hang.
I’m considering switching to a dedicated server with a similar budget. I found Netcup offering something like the RS 1000 G12 (4 cores, 8 GB RAM, 256 GB storage).
From what I’ve seen, Hetzner uses AMD CPUs from around 2019, while Netcup seems to use newer CPUs (around 2024).
My question is:
Would a dedicated server with half the specs but a newer CPU be comparable in performance to my current Hetzner shared instance (8 vCPU, 16 GB RAM with older CPU)?
