What is an Intel Core i9-10940X VDS?
An i9-10940X VDS is a virtual server running on a physical machine with Intel's Core X-series Core i9-10940X: 14 cores / 28 threads. The base clock is 3.3 GHz and max turbo 4.6 GHz, while Turbo Boost Max 3.0 lifts the two fastest cores to up to 4.8 GHz. It has 19.25 MB of cache and DDR4 memory support.
Where this processor makes sense is not one heavy process but many processes running together: setups where the web application and its database sit on the same server, several services side by side under Docker, queue workers and scheduled jobs, or a Windows Server with several users connected. The vCPUs you buy are threads of this processor and are reserved for you.
The 4.8 GHz from Turbo Boost Max 3.0 only appears on the fastest cores and for short periods; under sustained load the base clock and the core count decide. Read the figures on this page as a ceiling, not as the speed your VDS will see at every moment.

Processor figures are Intel's published specifications. The vCPUs reserved for your VDS are threads of this processor; the running core clock varies with load and temperature.
Which i9 should you choose?
Our three i9 options come from the same Core X family and the same DDR4 platform; they differ in the balance between core count and clock speed. The i9-10920X gives the highest base clock (3.5 GHz) with 12 cores, the i9-10940X sits in the middle with 14 cores at 3.3 GHz, and the i9-10980XE offers 18 cores and the largest cache (24.75 MB). All three reach 4.6 GHz max turbo and 4.8 GHz with Turbo Boost Max 3.0.
On a VDS what decides is the number of vCPUs in your plan more than the core count of the machine; the vCPU, RAM and storage range each product can be configured with is listed in the FAQ below. If your workload is bound to a single thread (a crowded game server, for example), the Ryzen 9 7950X is the better choice.

Frequently Asked Questions
Details about the packages, setup flow, and customer panel features offered for Intel Core i9-10940X on this page.
- What is an i9-10940X VDS good for?
- Many processes running together: keeping a web application and its database on one server, several services side by side under Docker, queue workers, scheduled jobs and a Windows Server with several users. For work bound to a single thread, the Ryzen 9 7950X is faster.
- What is the difference between the i9-10940X, i9-10920X and i9-10980XE?
- All three are Core X-series and use DDR4. The i9-10920X has 12 cores at a 3.5 GHz base clock, the i9-10940X 14 cores at 3.3 GHz and the i9-10980XE 18 cores at 3.0 GHz; cache is 19.25, 19.25 and 24.75 MB respectively. All three reach up to 4.8 GHz with Turbo Boost Max 3.0.
- Does a VDS always run at the 4.8 GHz of Turbo Boost Max 3.0?
- No. 4.8 GHz is the ceiling Intel publishes for the two fastest cores and appears under short bursts of load. Under sustained load the core clock moves between the base clock (3.3 GHz) and max turbo, depending on load and temperature.
- Which projects are a Intel Core i9-10940X VDS suitable for?
- A Intel Core i9-10940X VDS can be used for game servers, web applications, APIs, databases, and development environments. Your purchase allocates the vCPU, RAM, and disk capacity shown in the selected package, not the entire physical processor.
- Which values should I compare when choosing a Intel Core i9-10940X package?
- Use the vCPU, RAM, and disk values in the package table. This product can be configured from 1–16 vCPU, 1–64 GB RAM, and 30–250 GB disk. Choose according to your application's requirements and expected concurrent users.
- Which operating systems can I install?
- The configurator for this product includes CentOS, Debian, Ubuntu, and Windows Server templates. During ordering or reinstallation, you can select one of the active versions currently listed.
- Which network speeds are available for this server?
- This product offers shared network options at 1 Gbps and 10 Gbps. Any price difference for the selected network option is included in the order summary before payment.
- Can I add a snapshot backup to my order?
- Yes. In addition to ordering without backups, this product includes an option for 1 weekly snapshot. The current additional fee is shown in the configurator; keeping a separate application-level backup is still recommended for critical data.
- When does server provisioning start?
- Automated server provisioning starts after payment is verified. You can follow the service status in the customer panel while setup is in progress and view the access credentials in the service details when it completes.
- Where can I find the server IP address and credentials?
- When setup is complete, the server IP address, username, and password are displayed in the service details within the customer panel. This information is only visible after signing in to your account.
- Can I manage the server from the customer panel?
- Yes. From the service details you can start, stop, or restart the server and reinstall it using one of the supported operating system templates.
- Can I view CPU, RAM, and network usage in the panel?
- The server metrics section in the customer panel shows CPU, RAM, disk, and supported network data. Historical usage charts also help you evaluate resource requirements.
- Can I upgrade vCPU, RAM, and disk later?
- You can request vCPU, RAM, and disk upgrades within the limits supported by the product. Disk downgrades are not supported to avoid data-loss risk, and the price difference is shown before confirmation.
- Can I change the server's rDNS record from the panel?
- You can manage rDNS for eligible IPv4 addresses assigned to your active server through the network tools in the customer panel. The relevant IP infrastructure must support rDNS management.
- How do I connect to Linux and Windows servers?
- Connect to a server installed from a Linux template over SSH and to a Windows Server installation over RDP. The IP address and credentials appear in the service details after setup completes.
