We’re upgrading all Linodes to 8 cores! Right now. As in all you need to do is reboot to double the computing power of your Linode.

Doesn't matter, CPU is never the bottle neck. There upgrades are meaningless for most people. Plus the users on same host-machine have to share CPU anyway. This isn't a real upgrade unless Linode reduce the number of users per host-machine.
The only meaningful upgrades for VPS are memory and SSD. Linode isn't going to upgrade to SSD. So if it doesn't give you more memory, it doesn't count an upgrade.
#7 楼 @blacktulip actually, I have not deployed applications on it , it's a new bought VPS
#9 楼 @blacktulip although maybe the cpu isn't the bottleneck of our app,but the more cpu the better. we can deploy more memory cost less app to the server and don't need to be afraid of the calculation ability of the server. 8 is bigger than 4 and you don't need to pay it...isn't a damn good thing?
How do I get my fair share of CPU?
We limit the number of Linodes placed on each host machine. We also only place one plan type on each host. In the worst-case scenario, you're splitting CPU time evenly with your fellow Linoders, but are still able to use the full potential of the host if others are idle.
How many Linodes share a host?
Linodes of the same plan are grouped together onto a host. We adjust the number of slots on each host according to its resources and hardware specification. On average, a Linode 512 host has 40 Linodes on it. A Linode 1024 host has on average 20. Linode 2048 host: 10 Linodes; Linode 4096 host: 5;
dedicated server is so expensive to our,and also we don't need such huge calculation resource at all,we can't ask a company to give us a good vps with low price. most of other vps will sell a lot of vps in one physical machine,they won't tell you how many vps in one physical machine,but linode tell you and i trust linode. becuase i can feel it, i try a lot of other cheap vps,like burst.net,it's only need $9 per month.
#12 楼 @wppurking linode 不会超卖的...我相信他们...他自己的网站上说了 512 内存的只有 40 个，他应该就会保证只有 40 个的，老美诚信的话还是有的，既然说了我就选择相信他们
@sailtsao 恩，相信不会超卖，同机器的 VPS 还是会多。然后看到了他们关于 SSD 的看法。关心 内存 SSD CPU Net uptime 好像也就没了 :P
#5 楼 @blacktulip yep, memory is more 有意义，actually 这些升级 is meaningless to me
