Dedicated CPU Compute · $3153.6/mo (256 GB RAM, 128 vCPU, 3600 GB NVMe, 11000 GB transfer)
The Linode G8 Dedicated 256x128 at $3,153.60/mo is significantly overpriced for its specs. Multiple providers offer 128-256GB RAM with 64 vCPU at 60-70% lower cost, with better or equivalent storage and transfer allowances. Even accounting for hidden costs and renewal traps, you can save $1,500-2,000/mo by switching.
64 vCPU, 192GB RAM, 2TB NVMe, unlimited traffic at less than 1/4 Linode's price; specs are nearly identical to what you need.
Caveat: Quoted price is for 24-month prepay; 1-month terms cost significantly more; fair usage policy on 'unlimited' traffic; ticket-only support on base tier.

Caveat: Medium confidence sourcing; renewal rates reported at 2-3x intro price; requires sales call to confirm current pricing.

Caveat: GPU may not be needed; setup fees increased in 2026; VAT excluded from listed price; traffic overage rates apply beyond 20TB EU allowance.
Exact RAM/vCPU match (256GB/64vCPU), 10TB transfer, 100% network uptime SLA at 56% savings.
Caveat: Bandwidth overage rates vary by data center; Windows license not included; lower confidence on exact storage specs.
