Bergamo is AMD's density play: Zen 4c cores keep the full Zen 4 instruction set — including AVX-512 — but shrink the cache and clock ceiling to fit 128 cores into a single socket. Two of them give you 256 physical cores and 512 threads at a 2.3 GHz base and 3.1 GHz boost.
Paired with a terabyte of DDR5-4800 across twenty-four channels and twenty-four NVMe bays, this is a machine sized for cloud-native density: thousands of containers, very large guest populations, or a scale-out service consolidated onto one node instead of a cluster of them.
The economics are the point. At €1659 a month the cost per thread is €3.24 — the lowest in our entire range — and it comes with modern DDR5 memory and PCIe 5.0 storage rather than the decade-old DDR4 platform you would otherwise need to reach for at that price per thread.
What this configuration is good at
Where the Dual EPYC 9754 earns its price against the rest of the range.
Container density at scale
Zen 4c is designed for exactly this: many small, independent processes where per-core peak clock matters far less than how many cores exist.
Large VPS nodes
512 threads and 1 TB of memory support a very large guest population on a single chassis, with KVM isolation intact.
Massively parallel batch work
Rendering, simulation and large-scale ETL scale directly with thread count. 512 threads finishes in a fraction of the wall-clock time.
Memory-resident datasets
A terabyte of DDR5 holds datasets that would otherwise spill to disk, removing I/O from the critical path entirely.
When to pick something else
A 2.3 GHz base is deliberate. Any workload that depends on single-thread speed — game servers, latency-critical trading, a small high-QPS database — will perform better on the Dual EPYC 9554 at 3.1 GHz, or the single EPYC 9254 at 2.9 GHz for considerably less money.
Compare the full dedicated range
Every configuration ships with IPMI, 1 Gbps unmetered bandwidth and 2.5 Tbps DDoS protection.

Dual EPYC 9754 — common questions
What is the difference between Zen 4c and Zen 4?
Zen 4c is the same architecture with the same instruction set, including AVX-512, physically redesigned for density: less L3 cache per core and a lower clock ceiling, in exchange for twice as many cores per socket. Per-core it is slower; per socket it does far more parallel work.
Is this really 256 physical cores?
Yes — 128 physical cores per socket, 256 in total, 512 threads with SMT enabled. None of it is virtualised or oversubscribed.
How does the price per thread compare?
€3.24 per thread per month, the lowest in our range. The Dual Xeon E5-2699 v4 is around €3.69 per thread on a much older platform with DDR4 and SATA storage.
Can the memory be expanded beyond 1 TB?
Yes. Twenty-four DIMM slots across both sockets support substantially more than the 1 TB standard allocation. Contact us with your requirement for a quote.
Is 1 Gbps enough bandwidth for a machine this size?
It depends on your workload. 1 Gbps unmetered is ample for compute-bound and memory-bound work, but if you are serving high-volume traffic, talk to us about a higher port tier or look at our 10 Gbps streaming VPS range first.
