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 7 7700 in Germany and AMD EPYC 4244P in New York. Both are modern Zen 4 chips with 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 Supreme and Ultimate tiers will hold TPS better.

Tip: If TPS is your concern, Supreme and Ultimate are the tiers to look at, in either location.

Frequently asked questions

Which is better for a big modpack? Supreme or Ultimate (Ryzen 7700 in Germany, EPYC 4244P in New York) — their single-thread speed holds TPS under load.

Do Germany and New York use the same CPU? No. Supreme and Ultimate run on the Ryzen 7 7700 in Germany and the EPYC 4244P in New York. Both are Zen 4 with similar per-core speed, so pick the location closest to your players.

Is Budget's EPYC hardware slow? Not at all — it's excellent value for smaller and lighter servers. Supreme and Ultimate just pull ahead under heavy load.
