DigitalOcean 推出了高 CPU 使用量的 VPS 服務：「Introducing High CPU Droplets」。
價位從 USD$40/month 開始。相較於 Standard Droplet，CPU 的速度提升到 2.5 倍速 (平均)：
The current CPUs powering High CPU Droplets are the Intel Broadwell 2697Av4 with a clock speed of 2.6Ghz, and the Intel Skylake 8168 with a clock speed of 2.7Ghz. Customers in our early access period have seen up to four times the performance of Standard Droplet CPUs, and on average see about 2.5 times the performance.
目前早期先開放這些區，八月底會開 FRA1 與 LON1：
These Droplets are available through the Control Panel and the API starting today as capacity allows in SFO2, NYC1, NYC3, TOR1, BLR1, and AMS3. They will be available in FRA1 and LON1 by the end of August.
等 benchmark 數字出來後才會比較清楚跟 AWS 上的 c4.large 系列比起來如何... 不過現在看起來 DigitalOcean 想直接跟 AWS 對決？如果技術上沒有特別的東西，應該會蠻辛苦的... (因為只剩下價格)
