How old you want to go? The first option I see on Server Auction is a €38/mo i7-6700, roughly 9 years old. An equivalent 14th gen would be the i3-14100, with 33% [1] more performance. Assuming this would be the server’s last customer, Hetzner might be decommissioning 12-15 year old hardware. There is quite a big leap in energy efficiency between 6th and 14th gens. At some point they economically turn into space heaters. 1: https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i7-6700-vs-Intel-Core-i3-14100/3515vsm2277146 https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i7-6700-vs-...
