Vultr - New Skylake processors - Can I prove I am using one?
-
They must be using a different cpu model.
-
Based on what I can find here it looks like you're on a Xeon, but I also don't see a 2600 MHz unit listed that meets the other reported details. . . so take it with a grain of salt.
-
Worth considering as well that they very well could have drivers installed that simply obfuscate this and only present the most basic details based on what you've bought.
-
Yep, I would agree. I checked around some other places and it seems that the general thought is that they do exactly what you say...they hide it, so there is no way to tell for sure.
-
Obfuscating the data could help with keeping their data centers secured so I wouldn't think to much into that. But I would at least give them a call and see if they are able to prove to you where the system is running.

Agreed. I don't have a problem with them obfuscating the data in support of security. I just want to know if I am getting the new procs that they announced. Not a huge deal, but curious.

Open a ticket and ask them? They reply so fast...

Already did. Started this thread after I got my response. They don't tell you.

Without having a skylake processor to compare to with the above command
less /proc/cpuinfoit is probably going to be difficult to find this information.If anyone on the community is running linux and has one of these processors can you post the above info and past it here to the topic?
-
Its a Xeon W, I heard. Which may be why you don't see it on the list.
We ran a bench mark against it recently, and it was pretty obvious that it was a Skylake just for the performance jump.
