Notes

PebbleHost (Premium)'s AMD Ryzen 9 7900 12-Core Processor is a modest machine by our lineup's standards. On the flip side, block updates lands at just 23% of the category leader, with chunk generation at 28% — worth weighing if your server leans on that. Performance held within ~8% across 15 runs — a sign of consistent, dedicated resources.
