title: What are the specs of the CPU at Digital Ocean
body: <p>I'm trying to make a comparison between DigitalOcean's and OVH's dedicated server CPUs. I know OVH's gaming servers are probably more performant than those on DigitalOcean. I just wanna know how that would translate in terms of actual usage.</p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT</strong></p>
  
  <p>Maybe I should clarify a bit.
  OVH tells you exactly what CPU you're getting. An example of gaming dedicated server would have the following CPU specs</p>
  
  <pre><code>Intel  i7-6700K - 4c/8t - 4GHz /4.2GHz
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>All I could find about DigitalOcean servers is that they are between 2.0 and 3.0 Ghz.</p>
  
  <p>Also, in case it's not already clear by the question I'm asking, I'm not very familiar with the concepts of CPU performance per se. I'm not sure how an Intel  i7-6700K differs from an Intel  i7-7700K in terms of concrete performance and load that the CPU can handle. There are forums discussing these points, but in terms that only confused me further.</p>
  
  <p>I know this should be very basic and apologize for my ignorance, but any references or plain explanations would be very appreciated.</p>
