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