Which CPU types are offered by Kamatera?

Kamatera offers state-of-the-art Intel Xeon Platinum/Ice Lake, 2.6GHz+ processors, and lets you choose the type of CPU that will fit your unique cloud server requirements.

We offer 4 server CPU types from which to choose:

Type A – Availability: Server CPUs are assigned to a non-dedicated physical CPU thread with no resources guaranteed.

Server configuration is available from 1 vCPU up to 32 vCPUs per server and from 1GB RAM up to 128GB RAM per server. This is ideal for a variety of general-purpose applications like micro-services, small to medium applications, development environments, container services, or any server use that does not require guaranteed CPU resources.

Pricing starts at $0.00054/hour or $4/month.

Type B – General Purpose: Server CPUs are assigned to a dedicated physical CPU Thread with reserved resources guaranteed.

Server configuration is available from 1 vCPU up to 128 vCPUs per server and from 1GB RAM up to 512GB RAM per server. This is typically recommended for all general-purpose scenarios of production-use such as application servers, web servers, database servers, container nodes, storage servers, HPC, etc.

Pricing starts at $0.0123/hour or $9/month.

Type T – Burstable: Server CPUs are assigned to a dedicated physical CPU thread with reserved resources guaranteed.

Exceeding an average CPU usage of 10% will be extra charged for CPU usage consumption.

Server configuration is available from 1 vCPU up to 128 vCPUs per server and from 1GB RAM up to 512GB RAM per server. This CPU type is recommended for general-purpose scenarios of production-use such as application servers, remote desktop servers, web servers, storage servers, etc. AND when CPU usage requirements are burstable during a small period of the time used.

Pricing starts at $0.0123/hour + $0.041/hour/CPU (Charged only if exceeding an average of 10% of CPU Usage)

Calculation example:

Server configuration of 8 vCPUs, 8GB RAM, and 50GB of storage will cost $0.0931/hour ($68 for 730 hours) when powered on and $0.0102/hour ($7.50 for 730 hours) when powered off.

If the server is powered on for the whole month (730 hours), and the average CPU Usage of 730 hours is 7%, the server will cost $0.0931 x 730 hours = $67.96.

If the server is powered on for the whole month (730 hours), and the average CPU Usage of 730 hours is 20%, the server will cost $0.0931 x 730 hours + $0.041 x 730 hours x 8 vCPUs x 0.10 percent = $67.963 + $23.944 = $91.91.

Type D – Dedicated: Server CPUs are assigned to a dedicated physical CPU Core (2 threads) with reserved resources guaranteed.

Server configuration is available from 1 vCPU up to 32 vCPUs per server and from 1GB RAM up to 512GB RAM per server.

This can be used for all general-purpose scenarios of production-use such as application servers, web servers, database servers, container nodes, storage servers, HPC, etc.

Pricing starts at as low as $0.026/hour or $19/month.
