Hello! If you're thinking about a new server, or upgrading, we have some great news — Hetzner just released the EX63 with the Intel® Core™ Ultra 7 265 processor. This is a great server that offers a lot for your budget. Excited (and understandably so) hosters are already buzzing about the new server.
• Processor: Intel® Core™ Ultra 7 265 with 20 cores (8 performance cores + 12 efficiency cores)
• Memory: 64 GB of DDR5 RAM
• Storage: 2 × 1 TB NVMe SSDs (Gen 4) in RAID 1 to offer both performance and redundancy
• Network: 1 Gbit/s port with unlimited traffic
• Start price: €66 / month
That's not too bad, right? For that price, that's a powerful server. The new Intel Ultra chips are meant to run multiple workloads seamlessly, but consumes way less power than older CPUs.
What interests me with this announcement is that the Intel Ultra 7 265 uses the same hybrid design we see in modern laptops and desktops - fast "performance" cores in tandem with efficient cores for a better overall balance. That means fast when you want fast, and efficient when you don't.
Have you ever had a server slow down because you have multiple users hitting it at once? This one is designed to handle that load easily.
Of course, if 10 Gbit/s speed or extensive storage is required, there will be an additional charge, but for most users, a server with the right balance of performance and cost.
• You'll be able to upgrade storage if you need more than 2 TB.
• It's up to you to determine whether the data center's location (Germany or Finland) is suitable for your user base.
• Consider if you need extra backups or snapshots to retain files — Hetzner charges reasonable fees for additional backups or snapshots.
What Is the EX63?
The Hetzner EX63 is the latest dedicated server offered by Hetzner. The latest dedicated server also comes with some very impressive specifications, that make the server fast and reliable for smaller projects or heavier workloads — take a look at the gifting specs for the price of it:• Processor: Intel® Core™ Ultra 7 265 with 20 cores (8 performance cores + 12 efficiency cores)

Reasons Why It Matters
Honestly, getting a server with 20 cores and DDR5 RAM for less than €70 a month is quite an achievement. The EX63 will run virtual machines, web apps, or database-heavy websites without slowing down easily.What interests me with this announcement is that the Intel Ultra 7 265 uses the same hybrid design we see in modern laptops and desktops - fast "performance" cores in tandem with efficient cores for a better overall balance.

What I Think
If I was working to deploy a new hosting project, I would definitely be looking at the EX63. I have rented from Hetzner before-and their reputation speaks to consistent performance hardware and good price. I would say it would be excellent for developers, small businesses, or even hobby users who want a good platform without overspending and regulating performance.Of course, if 10 Gbit/s speed or extensive storage is required, there will be an additional charge, but for most users, a server with the right balance of performance and cost.
