Rust Server Performance - What is the right Hardware for my Server?

Hi Guys,

im running some high frequent servers and im always bumping into the same bottleneck: Server Hardware.
Its basicly impossible to run a montly wipe with 150 Players and this pisses me of ^^

Am i the only one having these problems with my Servers?

Anyways, just wanna hear your opinion on this topic:

Wich hardware do you use, peak-playercount, wipe cycle and how your server is doing?

Usually I refer to https://www.cpubenchmark.net/singleThread.html when reviewing CPU performance, as only single thread performance matters. In most cases 9900k and higher should handle 300 population peaks. However it all depends on your setup and player base, wipe cycle, buildings and eh Rust gets slower and slower with all the features being added every month :P
