That is the old 4 core cpu they have been using. We will probably have to wait some weeks before this all takes effect.

- jedicoffee 14y agoPretty sure just reading the post answers this, "Linodes will start landing on NextGen hardware in the next week or so".
- carbocation 14y agoThe post is a bit confusing, though, because well before you get to the line that you quoted, the article states: "And we’re upgrading all Linodes to 8 cores! Right now. As in all you need to do is reboot to double the computing power of your Linode. By the time the host refresh is completed the average Linode will be running on hardware that is less than 1 year old." I, for one, thought that it was ready now after reading that. In fact, from the comments, it's clear that for some customers, this is in fact ready: "BizzarTech: Rebooted my 1024 and moar cores!!! Thank you!!"
- asb 14y agoNo, the move to new hardware and increase in the number of available cores is separate. If you reboot right now you'll get access to more of the 'cores' on the host system (though I suspect they're really just "threads" in Intel terminology). But you're still running on the older L5520 hardware.
- carbocation 14y agoI rebooted and confirmed; indeed the older L5520 is still the processor being used on my particular linode: <snip> processor : 7 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 26 model name : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU L5520 @ 2.27GHz stepping : 5 microcode : 0x11 cpu MHz : 2266.746 cache size : 8192 KB physical id : 0 siblings : 8 </snip>
- karlshea 14y agoThis is from a plan that is less than a week old: processor : 7 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 44 model name : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU L5630 @ 2.13GHz stepping : 2 microcode : 0x15 cpu MHz : 2133.460 cache size : 12288 KB physical id : 0 siblings : 8
