Recently I placed an order of a new VPS at Linode. It has a new CPU type.
Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2697 v4 @ 2.30GHz, 1 cores
Another VPS I bought with Linode from July 2017, has Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2680 v2 @ 2.80GHz, 1 cores
Let me check these difference between E5-2697 v4 and E5-2680 v2.
First place I checked is cpu-world.
The Specification
Then, I checked CPU Benchmarks.

Check the hardware of new VPS.
