The figure is the first-year monthly price divided by the physical cores of the whole server, never threads. The floor is 8 cores, below which a server is a small box at any price. 212 servers clear it, from $7.25/core against a typical $16.65/core; the leader's CPU was launched in 2024, and a core from a decade ago does less work than one from last year. A price is what a month costs over the first year: the monthly price plus a twelfth of the setup fee, converted to dollars and excluding tax. A provider that states no setup fee is counted at its monthly price, and its row says so.
3 of these 10 servers come from a provider that states no setup fee. A fee it charges would move them down the list.
