The Bottom Line

Hetzner (Metal) charges $59/mo for the plan we tested, running on AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8700GE w/ Radeon 780M Graphics with 8 GB of RAM. It lands in our enterprise tier, strongest at memory performance and weakest at disk I/O.

Notes

Hetzner (Metal)'s AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8700GE w/ Radeon 780M Graphics is a mid-pack machine in our lineup, and it shows in the demanding workloads — it tops the field for memory performance. On the flip side, disk i/o lands at just 18% of the category leader, with block updates at 27% — worth weighing if your server leans on that. Run-to-run consistency was acceptable but not rock-solid (~10% variance across 15 runs). Bottom line: a enterprise performer, strongest where it counts for memory performance.

Hardware

The test server posts a hardware score of 207 — enterprise-grade for a Minecraft host (AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8700GE w/ Radeon 780M Graphics, 16 cores). Its Minecraft performance lands roughly 29% below what that hardware should manage, which usually points to virtualisation overhead or a shared/throttled machine.

Consistency
⚠️ Inconsistent results. Scores varied ~10% across 15 runs. Inconsistent results often mean a shared or oversold CPU, so your real-world performance may swing at peak times.

Testing Methodology

  • Custom Minecraft server plugin for standardized testing
  • 9 benchmark categories collected per run
  • A benchmark session of 5 runs, repeated every 8 hours across 24 hours (longer for inconsistent hosts)
  • Uptime monitored for the full month of the subscription
  • Multiple runs aggregated, with variance tracked for consistency
