Ryzen vs Intel VPS: Which Is Better for Your Workload?

Choosing the right VPS for your needs often comes down to one key decision: Ryzen or Intel? At Hosteons, we offer both — and each has its strengths depending on your use case.

In this post, we’ll break down the differences to help you decide which is best for your project.


🧠 The CPU Showdown: Ryzen vs Intel

Ryzen VPS (AMD Ryzen 9 7950X):

  • Based on the latest Zen 4 architecture
  • Up to 5.7 GHz turbo boost
  • 16 cores / 32 threads
  • Higher multi-threaded performance
  • Ideal for parallel processing and heavy multitasking
  • Superior price-to-performance ratio

Intel VPS (Intel Xeon / Intel Core Series):

  • Rock-solid stability, enterprise-grade
  • Slightly better single-threaded performance in legacy workloads
  • Widely supported by older software stacks
  • Excellent for lighter or traditional web hosting workloads

💻 Which One Should You Choose?

✔ Choose Ryzen VPS

 if you:

  • Run containerized or virtualization-heavy environments
  • Need high CPU clock speeds for game servers or CI/CD pipelines
  • Handle simultaneous processes like video encoding, analytics, or parallel scripts
  • Want better performance at the same or lower price point

✔ Choose Intel VPS

 if you:

  • Host traditional LAMP/LEMP stack websites
  • Need compatibility with legacy enterprise apps
  • Prefer tried-and-tested platforms for general-purpose hosting

🌐 Location Options That Match Your Needs

At Hosteons, both Ryzen and Intel VPS options are available in:

  • USA (Los Angeles, Dallas, New York, etc.)
  • Europe (Germany & France)

With 10Gbps ports and NVMe SSD storage, you get ultra-fast IO and networking—no matter the CPU you choose.


💳 Pay Your Way: Flexible Payment Options

We accept:

  • Credit/Debit Cards
  • PayPal
  • Cryptocurrencies (BTC, LTC, USDT, etc.)
  • Local Methods like UPI, Alipay, UnionPay, OXXO & more!

No KYC required for crypto or most local payments.

🏁 Final Verdict

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. If your workload is demanding and multithreaded, Ryzen is the clear winner. If you’re hosting stable websites or want long-term compatibility, Intel remains a solid choice.

VPS Benchmark Results at Hosteons.com

We have been posting benchmark results for new VPS Nodes just like other VPS providers but a new VPS Node is definitely going to have good results but what are the benchmark results once more and more VPS/users are added to the VPS Node  ? So to be transparent with our clients we gave it a try on our VPS Node 1 i.e. our First VPS Node and since it’s our First VPS Node it is already full and we are not adding any new clients to it unless some VPS on it gets cancelled, here are the benchmark results:

我们一直在发布新VPS节点的基准测试结果,就像其他VPS提供商一样,但新的VPS节点肯定会有很好的结果,但是一旦越来越多的VPS /用户被添加到VPS节点,什么是基准测试结果? 因此,为了与我们的客户保持透明,我们尝试了我们的VPS节点1,即我们的第一个VPS节点,因为它是我们的第一个VPS节点,它已经满了,我们不会添加任何新的客户端,除非它上面的一些VPS被取消 ,这是基准测试结果:
