If you’re using VPS Server at Vultr, I thought you had seen the new interface of Vultr since mid-June, it’s looking very friendly and professional, right?
However, the new interface is not the only change of Vultr. If you pay a little attention, besides SSD Cloud Instances, Vultr has launched a new more product: High-Frequency Compute. So, what it is?
According to a post in Vultr blog:
So that means, the new product High-Frequency Compute will give you much higher CPU speed, and much 40% faster load speeds than regular Compute Instance.
Vultr High CPU Compute instance pricing is a little higher, but you will get more SSD storage than Compute Instance. The cheapest plan starts from $6/mo with 1 CPU, 1GB RAM, 32 GB SSD, and 1 TB bandwidth. The highest plan is $256/m with 768 GB of SSD storage, 12 CPU, 48 GB of RAM and 8 TB bandwidth.
Compare two products pricing:

In the instance of the Compute Instances $10 and the High-Frequency $12 plans both have 1 CPU Core and 2GB RAM that VPSbenchmarks have tested, let see the benchmark result:
As you see, the High-Frequency plan has more performance scores higher than VC2 instance with the same number of core and memory. You can also check the benchmarks of High Frequency Compute Instances from Vultr.
The High-Frequency Compute instance is now available to deploy in all 16 data locations worldwide of Vultr. If you want to switch your server to one of High-Frequency Compute plans, let use the Snapshot feature to create a copy of your entire server and then deploy it on the new server.

Summary, with an excellent reading/writing speed of NVME drive, high-speed CPU and affordable price, this new product of Vultr is especially fitting for your most demanding applications/websites.
If all Vultr High-Frequency Compute plans stay the current performance, they look like a severe competition to DigitalOcean and Linode.
