We had a fleet of dedicated hetzner boxes w/10 gbit, it’s just an option you get and pay a little extra for. Generally had good performance as well.

I think maybe you’re overestimating the idle power consumption of modernish x86 (especially the last 5-6 gens of intel)? I’ve a i5 9600T system that’s drawing less than a Pi at idle. And cost me the same to buy. https://docs.goog
