Shadow Unveils ‘Neo' Cloud PC with RTX‑Level Power
Arabian Post Staff -Dubai Shadow has rolled out its Neo cloud PC tier, immediately replacing its Boost offering across Europe and North America. Priced from $37.99 a month, Neo delivers performance aiming at NVIDIA RTX 4060-class levels and is supported on fibre links up to 1 Gb/s. Powered by an eight‑vCore AMD EPYC processor clocked between 3.25 GHz and 3.8 GHz and equipped with 16 GB DDR5 RAM, Neo uses Nvidia's RTX 2000 ADA GPU—a server‑grade equivalent to the consumer RTX 4060 with 16 GB VRAM. It supports DirectX 12, Vulkan 1.3, real‑time ray tracing, and both DLSS and FSR upscaling, delivering up to 150 per cent higher frame‑rate in gaming and 200 per cent improved throughput in professional software over the previous Boost tier. ADVERTISEMENT Users continue to receive a full Windows PC environment, installable applications, mod support, peripheral compatibility, and operation across devices—including Mac, Linux, Android, iOS, smart TVs, and browsers. Existing Boost subscribers have been automatically migrated to Neo at no extra cost. The service launch highlights Shadow's intent to appeal to both gaming and creative professionals. In an announcement, Shadow's CEO Olivier Abecassis described Neo as its 'newest and most versatile cloud PC yet', capable of handling demanding workloads from 2K gaming to complex 3D editing. Since the company's original debut in 2017, it has expanded to serve over 700,000 users across 14 countries, and Neo extends that reach into gaming, B2B, engineering, architecture, and media sectors. Early feedback is largely positive. A player on Reddit reported a 40 per cent performance boost in titles like Kerbal Space Program, while some noted that resource-heavy apps like Discord could push the cloud CPU to its limits. Community comments suggest the CPU remains a potential pain point, with one user observing full utilisation 'when all I have is Discord, and almost ANY game open'. Pricing positions Neo competitively among cloud PC offerings. At $37.99, it undercuts some rivals while delivering hardware close to mid‑range modern gaming rigs. That said, sceptics argue that long‑term subscription fees may exceed the cost of a self‑built PC with comparable specs, particularly when factoring resale value and hardware depreciation. Shadow continues to refine its infrastructure. Earlier this year, the company referenced ongoing upgrades to backbone systems intended to support new service tiers—anticipating Neo among these developments. Its stated aim is to offer elastic, high‑performance Windows environments ubiquitously, with transparent monthly billing and no maintenance overhead. The service supports full SSD storage and up to 5 TB HDD, covering a wide range of user needs from game libraries to multimedia and professional projects. It also includes advanced features such as remote drag‑and‑drop transfers, multi‑monitor support, and H.265 streaming for low‑bandwidth scenarios. Cloud gaming rivals, including NVIDIA's GeForce NOW and Amazon Luna, have emphasised accessibility and platform exclusives. Shadow differentiates by offering a full virtual desktop, enabling mods, third‑party software installations, and extended workflows beyond pure gaming. Industry analysts view Neo's launch as a sign of the growing pivot toward cloud productivity among both gamers and professionals. The inclusion of an AMD EPYC CPU and server‑grade GPU suggests Shadow is targeting a hybrid user base, emphasising creative workflows as much as frame‑rate. Maintaining low latency via fibre and ensuring robust multi‑core CPU performance remain crucial to its competitiveness.

HostColor Expands Its AMD Dedicated Server Offerings in LA and New York
New York, New York, June 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — (HC) has announced the immediate availability of bare metal servers powered by AMD Ryzen and AMD EPYC processors in several new data center locations. (HC), a globally recognized provider of cloud infrastructure and managed services, has announced the availability of custom-built, high-bandwidth, high-performance AMD dedicated server platforms in several new data center locations. HostColor's new primary New York City service location for delivering AMD CPU-powered servers is the DataBank data center, located at 111 Eighth Avenue in Downtown Manhattan in a telecommunications building owned by Google. Other new data center locations for delivering AMD CPU-powered bare metal servers include Equinix LA3 and CoreSite LA2 in Los Angeles. The available AMD Ryzen processors at HostColor's new Manhattan, NYC service location are the Ryzen 9 5950X, Ryzen 9 7950X, Ryzen 9 9950X, and Ryzen Threadripper Pro 7965WX. The available server platforms with AMD EPYC CPUs feature: AMD EPYC 7C13, AMD EPYC 7443P, AMD EPYC 7662, AMD EPYC 9274F, AMD EPYC 9275F, AMD EPYC 9374F, AMD EPYC 9474F, AMD EPYC 9654 and AMD EPYC 9754. Customers can customize their server configurations with IPv4 and IPv6 address space. They can also choose a network service with metered data transfer measured in terabytes (TB) transferred per month or unmetered bandwidth ports with allocations ranging from 100 Mbps to 10 Gbps. 'Unmetered bandwidth' means that the hosting infrastructure provider does not measure or limit the bandwidth used by the server. For example, at most of its Edge data centers, HostColor allows customers to use the full capacity of their dedicated servers' physical internet bandwidth port. HostColor's AMD server customers benefit from unlimited data transfer up to the physical capacity of the internet connection ports. Unlike large hyperscale clouds, HostColor (HC) provides both Bare Metal Servers and dedicated cloud infrastructure with unmetered bandwidth ports and unlimited data transfer quotas, with no charges for inbound or outbound Internet traffic. Compared to the infrastructure offered by the major hyperscale clouds, HC's Dedicated Cloud Hosting and bare metal offerings save a tremendous amount of financial resources. HostColor does not charge its customers for internet traffic, IOPS, DNS lookups, DNS zones, internet traffic zones, or infrastructure technical support. All of HostColor's AMD-based server configurations provide customers with enterprise cloud computing and virtualization options, and they are compatible with Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and other major cloud providers. HC's AMD processor-based servers can handle large data sets and are ideal for AI-driven applications, software automation platforms, and large, complex database management systems that require data processing. They are also well-suited for various HPC workloads. Free Infrastructure Technical Support HostColor does not charge for access to technical support for the core functionality of its dedicated cloud hosting infrastructure. The company provides dedicated cloud servers with 'Free Infrastructure Technical Support' per Service Level Agreement (SLA). This support covers core service functionality related to network interfaces and the physical components of bare metal servers, such as CPUs, RAM, and storage drives. FITS also includes consultation on various infrastructure service use case scenarios. However, FITS does not cover maintenance and support for operating systems (OSs), custom configurations, or installed software applications. These are covered by the next level of SLA-defined technical support, Semi-Managed Dedicated Servers. This technical support agreement is based on the company's Edge Server hosting infrastructure platform. Semi-Managed Dedicated Servers In addition to FITS, all of HostColor's dedicated server hosting services are 'Semi-Managed' by the SLA. The provider is responsible for installing and configuring server instances according to the customer's custom configurations for Linux infrastructure environments. Additionally, HC Support reinstalls the server operating system (OS) upon request, configures and manages network settings, creates and maintains custom virtual private networks, and assists customers with troubleshooting any server-side issues related to the OS, network, or software configuration. About HostColor Since 2000, (HC) has been a global provider of semi-managed edge, bare metal, and cloud infrastructure and IT hosting services.
