What's the difference?

Between these two server offerings:

4 cores
AMD EPYC 7282
16gb ram (guaranteed)
500gb SSD
8 euro

4 dedicated cores
AMD Epyc 7702
16GB DDR4 ram ECC
500gb SSD
16 euro

AMD Ryzen 3 3200G
16GB DDR4 ram
500gb SSD
25 euro

I still do not understand xD

What's the difference now? There shouldn't be any, right? The performance should be more or less the same?

Why is the first offer so cheap?

The hardware is required for CPU-heavy and RAM-heavy applications, such as. Minecraft.

Better CPU, DDR4 RAM is also significantly faster than DDR3. I guess you only notice that under full load.

I once had an Auruba 1Gb VPS for EUR 1, - / month with several WP domains and it was super fast.

Ba

That means the first is cheapest? What is meant by vcore and dedicated core?

Pi

VCore is usually the Cpu core voltage

Dedicated probably means 4 real cores and not 2 cores / 4 threads

Ba

So 4 cores should actually be 4 cores and not 2 cores?

Pi

As I said with 4 cores, 4 threads can also mean 2 "real" cores

Ba

But threads aren't kernels, are they? Don't they have to write that?

Gu

No, vCore stands for "Virtual Core". So you don't get a whole CPU but some of it and share it with others in the same virtual space.

Pi

As I said, I only know the VCore voltage from the PC

Ba

So is 1 dedicated core the same as 1 virtual core?

Gu

No. Dedicated core> use only you alone. VCore> is shared.

Ba

How can you split cores? That would mean there's almost no service left?

Gu

The core is virtually divided. Imagine you have Chrome and Excel running, they also share the same core.

Ba

If I have a single core, yes
