Q: How does the OpenMetal Medium v4 compare to the Large v4 bare metal server?
The Medium v4 and Large v4 share the same chassis and dual boot drive design but differ in CPU tier, memory capacity, storage density, and public bandwidth.
The Medium v4 uses dual Intel Xeon Silver 4510 processors (24 cores, 48 threads at 2.4/4.1 GHz) with 256 GB DDR5-4400. The Large v4 uses dual Intel Xeon Gold 6526Y processors (32 cores, 64 threads at 2.8/3.9 GHz) with 512 GB DDR5-5200. The Gold-class CPU provides 33% more cores and a 17% higher base clock, while DDR5-5200 delivers approximately 18% more memory bandwidth than DDR5-4400.

Storage differs by drive count: the Medium v4 includes 1x 6.4 TB Micron 7500 MAX NVMe (expandable to ~25.6 TB across 3 open bays), while the Large v4 includes 2x 6.4 TB NVMe (12.8 TB base, expandable with 2 open bays). Both use the same Micron 7500 MAX drives with identical performance characteristics. Public bandwidth is 2 Gbps on the Medium v4 vs 4 Gbps on the Large v4; both share 20 Gbps LACP-bonded private networking.
The Large v4 is TDX-upgrade-eligible (via 1 TB RAM upgrade); the Medium v4’s TDX eligibility has not been confirmed. Both are available in all four OpenMetal regions on fixed monthly pricing. Choose the Medium v4 for cost-effective entry into dedicated bare metal; choose the Large v4 when workloads need higher per-core clocks, double the memory, or confirmed TDX support.
