Nice. Just launched a couple of VMs in APAC locations (Japan and India) to verify the same. Both of them came with - CPU model : AMD EPYC 7501 32-Core Processor
Many of the big cloud players will be AMD soon. Not being able to hyperthread on Intel processors hurt profitability like crazy for them. They probably consider the change a capital investment for the next 5 years.
Thanks @uptime. I actually had the $3.5/mo 1GB Ryzen VPS with ExtraVM from the initial launch period up until last week. @MikeA has always been a stand-up guy and his services have been pretty solid.
It's just that I am currently moving services to EU and APAC to cut down on latency amongst other things. So, letting go of VMs that I have no immediate use for. Sadly, that puts most of my US/CA based VM and Dedis on the list for cancellation within the next couple of months.
I had one of @MikeA's 3900x vm's for a month and it was fantastic, did several compute heavy tasks on it and it outran my 3770x dedi on per-core basis.
Scaleway.com lets you spin up a bare metal 7401P dedi for 0.80 euro/hour if that's of any interest. Not a VM but similar type of product. 24 cores/48 threads, 256GB ram, and some large SSD setup. I could imagine having a use for that sometime.

ExtraVM, NexusBytes, and BanditHost are some that come to mind

@K4Y5 - if you're looking for something in Dallas, might check with @MikeA if any deals available on his Ryzen 3900x
Last month I managed to snag a nice discount to get this one just under $7

@uptime May want to watch for the next deal on 3950X, it will have 10Gbps instead of 1Gbps ?

Stop tempting me, damnit! I am trying to cut down on services. :P

Oracle's "always free" VMs gave me 2 x Epyc 7551 per VM.
Was about to say same. Those VMs are severely nerf'd though. The up/down is capped to 50mb/s
Agreed. I/O also sucks. But the OP didn't say anything about the VM being good/fast/suitable for anything, just whether it uses Ryzen or Epyc
