A <strong>hardware thread<\/strong> is a logical processor visible to the operating system. Some physical cores expose two threads through SMT or Hyper-Threading. Two threads sharing one core are not the same as two separate physical cores.<\/p>\n<p>A <strong>vCPU<\/strong> is a virtual processor allocated to a VPS. A plan with four vCPU gives the virtual machine four logical processing units. It does not promise four exclusive physical cores on the host.<\/p>\n<p>Do not add cores and threads together. A processor described as <strong>8 cores \/ 16 threads<\/strong> has eight physical cores and sixteen hardware threads.<\/p>\n<h2>Virtual servers \u2014 VPS<\/h2>\n<p>Compare a VPS by its allocated vCPU, RAM and storage.

Check that you connected to the correct server and, for a VPS, compare its allocated vCPU count. For a dedicated server, record the processor name, installed CPU instances and online logical processors.<\/p>\n<p>Send support the service ID, expected and observed values, and command output or a screenshot. BIOS settings, disabled cores, virtualization and operating system limits can affect what the system reports. Avoid changing boot settings before the cause is clear.<\/p>\n<h2>RAM, drives and custom configurations<\/h2>\n<p>RAM is working memory for running applications; it is separate from SSD capacity. With <strong>RAID 1<\/strong>, two mirrored drives generally provide usable capacity close to one drive, less formatting and system overhead. RAID is not a replacement for backups.<\/p>\n<p>For a custom build, ask support to confirm the exact country and data center, CPU model and installed CPU count, physical cores and threads, RAM, number and size of drives, RAID layout, and GPU model and video memory where applicable. These order-specific details are the definitive specification of your server.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This reference lists PowerVPS virtual, dedicated and GPU server configurations.
