It isn’t 8 cores. The table is incorrect, it means “threads”. So the new “mSP” will be 4 cores/8 threads (the same as before).

Hi. You just forgot to notice in your comparison that the “old” mSP was a 4-cores while the ES-8 at 40€ in this grid is a 8-cores.

Rumors are suggesting that the SYS line may be limited to just two choices, not 3-6. Also keep in mind that these are potential offers, OVH may change the actual offers at any time depending on customer survey feedback and sales goals. However, if Oles was trying to reduce his turnover and control sales I believe he will be very successful with these plans!

Clearly, the mSP was priced to low, predatory pricing? Oles has publicly blamed the mSP offer for causing the OVH “sold out” situation. This won’t be repeated….

Oles has publicly stated that the Kimsufi (now known as PE or PS) will be available as a 5E/month student plan (requiring verification every October) or a 10E/month standard plan with a limit of one per person. Not sure if it will still be limited to EU residents only at this price point.
