Dedicated CPU instances run on their own CPU cores in the Linode infrastructure. No sharing the processor with other instances.
A powerful infrastructure solution for CPU-intensive applications such as video encoding, machine learning, and data analytics processing.
You can resize an existing Linode instance into a Dedicated CPU plan at any time.
Run workloads that require full-duty work (100% CPU all day, every day) without CPU contention/steal.
With Dedicated CPU instances, you can run latency-sensitive applications from your Linode with peace of mind.
Hypervisor resources for Dedicated CPU Linodes are not shared. The vCPU threads are assigned exclusively to cores and SMT threads on the hypervisor.
Using the Linode API, you can create a new Linode when needed and destroy it when the work is done.
Match your workload to the right plan. The Dedicated CPU pricing lineup offers competitive plans for a wide variety of use cases.

Shared CPU Cores
In this video, we'll explain Linode’s GPU instances. Scientists, artists, and engineers need access to significant parallel computational power. Linode offers GPU-optimized virtual machines accelerated by the NVIDIA Quadro RTX 6000, harnessing the power of CUDA, Tensor, and RT cores to execute complex processing, deep learning, and ray tracing workloads.
Linode Dedicated CPU instances are a powerful infrastructure solution for CPU-intensive applications such as video encoding, machine learning, data analytics processing, and much more. In this video, we'll cover some of the main benefits and common use cases that take full advantage of the power of Dedicated CPU instances.
Linode Images allow you to take snapshots of your disks, and then deploy them to any Linode under your account. Custom images can also be uploaded into the Cloud Manager to quickly and easily apply it to new or existing workloads.
In this video, we'll take a look at how you can use Cloudron to install and run a Multiplayer Minecraft Server on your Linode. We'll cover everything from setting up your Linode, installing Cloudron, to installing Minecraft.
Discourse is an open source discussion platform that provides a forum, mailing list, chat room, and more. In this video @TechHut shows you how to install Discourse using the Linode One-Click app Marketplace.
