## Increased vCPU for Workers Builds on paid plans

[Workers](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/)

Copy as Markdown| [View as Markdown](https://developers.cloudflare.com/changelog/post/2025-09-07-builds-increased-cpu-paid/index.md)| [Agent setup](https://developers.cloudflare.com/agent-setup/)

We recently [increased the available disk space](https://developers.cloudflare.com/changelog/2025-08-04-builds-increased-disk-size/) from 8 GB to 20 GB for **all** plans. Building on that improvement, we’re now doubling the CPU power available for paid plans — from 2 vCPU to **4 vCPU**.

These changes continue our focus on making [Workers Builds](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/ci-cd/builds/) faster and more reliable.

| Metric | Free Plan | Paid Plans |
| --- | --- | --- |
| CPU | 2 vCPU | **4 vCPU** |

#### Performance Improvements

- **Fast build times**: Even single-threaded workloads benefit from having more vCPUs
- **2x faster multi-threaded builds**: Tools like [esbuild ↗︎](https://esbuild.github.io/) and [webpack ↗︎](https://webpack.js.org/) can now utilize additional cores, delivering near-linear performance scaling

All other [build limits](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/ci-cd/builds/limits-and-pricing/) — including memory, build minutes, and timeout remain unchanged.
