Is Scaleway's MEMORY3-X8C-64G the best deal?

Virtual Instances · $330.83/mo (64 GB RAM, 8 vCPU)

Better deals exist

Scaleway's MEMORY3-X8C-64G at $330.83/mo is significantly overpriced for the specs. Multiple providers offer 64GB RAM + comparable or better CPU/storage at 30-70% lower cost, though most require longer contract commitments and have renewal-price traps.

AMD Ryzen 12 Cores (Dedicated)

$103.68/mosave 69%

Exact RAM match (64GB), 12 vCPU, 1TB NVMe, unlimited traffic at less than one-third Scaleway's price on a 24-month term.

Caveat: Renewal pricing on shorter terms (1-12 month) is significantly higher; fair usage policy on unlimited traffic; ticket-only support on base tier.

AX41 (Dedicated Root Server)

$45/mosave 86%

64GB RAM, 6 vCPU, 1TB NVMe at roughly 13% of Scaleway's cost; dedicated hardware with no noisy neighbors.

Caveat: Price not confirmed this session (estimated from historical pattern); setup fee now EUR 79; traffic overage charged beyond 20TB EU pool; VAT excluded from listed price.

Dedicated Servers Essential

$99.99/mosave 70%

32GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 2TB SSD, 5 dedicated IPs at 30% of Scaleway's price; good for lower-concurrency workloads.

Caveat: Renewal pricing jumps 2-4x after intro term; 3-year contract required for best rate; only 4 vCPU vs Scaleway's 8.

r3-32 (Public Cloud)

$114.1/mosave 65%

32GB RAM, 4 vCPU, hourly billing flexibility (no long-term lock-in) at 35% of Scaleway's cost; good for variable workloads.

Caveat: Only 32GB RAM (half Scaleway); IPv4 billed separately; Windows license surcharge; APAC egress loses free status after mid-2026.

Basic Cube XL

$65.52/mosave 80%

32GB RAM, 16 vCPU, 960GB NVMe at 20% of Scaleway's cost; strong CPU-to-price ratio.

Caveat: Only 32GB RAM (half Scaleway); renewal pricing 2-6x higher after 1-year contract; outbound traffic beyond 2TB tiered at $0.036/GB.

Before you switch

Contabo and InMotion require 24-36 month prepay for best rates; renewal prices are 2-4x higher - factor true 3-year cost into decision.
Hetzner AX41 price is estimated and unconfirmed this session; verify current pricing and EUR 79 setup fee on hetzner.com before committing.
Most alternatives offer 32GB RAM (half Scaleway's 64GB); only Contabo Ryzen matches 64GB, so confirm your actual RAM requirement.
Scaleway's 2 Gbps public bandwidth is higher than most alternatives (typically 1 Gbps); verify if you need sustained high egress.
Scaleway's hidden costs (Object Storage egress, snapshot storage, Glacier restoration) may apply; compare total 12-month cost including these add-ons vs. alternatives' flat-rate unlimited traffic.
