128 MB of 3D V-Cache
An additional stacked cache die brings L3 to 128 MB, so more of a hot working set stays on the chip instead of waiting on main memory.

Overview
Where Core 16X fits.
Core 16X runs the AMD EPYC 4585PX, a 16-core Zen 5 processor with 3D V-Cache for 128 MB of L3, twice that of Core 16, and boost clocks up to 5.7 GHz. With 192 GB of DDR5 ECC and 2 × 3.84 TB of NVMe, it targets game servers, simulation and latency-sensitive applications that reward high clocks and a large cache. It costs $399/mo and is ready in minutes in all 10 locations.
Ideal for
- Game servers
- Trading and real-time systems
- Simulation and EDA tools
- Cache-sensitive databases
4.3 GHz base, 5.7 GHz boost
The highest clocks in the lineup, for single-threaded game loops, trading logic and request handling.
192 GB DDR5 ECC
50% more memory than Core 16, plus 7.68 TB of raw NVMe Gen4 across two drives.

FAQ
Core 16X, answered.
What does 3D V-Cache help with?
It helps workloads whose frequently used data is larger than a normal L3 cache but fits in 128 MB: game server simulation, physics and pathfinding, some databases and in-memory caches, and many simulation and EDA tools. Code that streams through large datasets or waits on disk or network gains little. If you are unsure, test your workload for a month; there is no long-term contract.
Is Core 16X a good game server?
Yes, it is the configuration to start with for most game servers: 16 cores at up to 5.7 GHz, a large cache for the simulation loop and 192 GB of memory for several instances. Every IP has always-on DDoS protection, the 10 Gbps port has unmetered traffic, and Core 16X is available in all 10 locations, so you can host close to each player base.
How should I set up the two 3.84 TB NVMe drives?
Mirror them with software RAID 1, using mdadm or ZFS, for 3.84 TB of redundant storage, which is the usual choice in production. If your application replicates data itself or you keep backups elsewhere, use them separately for 7.68 TB.
Can I run Windows Server on Core 16X?
Yes. Windows Server is one of the one-click OS images, alongside Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux and Proxmox VE, which matters for game servers that ship Windows-only builds. You can also boot any custom ISO through the HTML5 KVM console.
