/v2/sizes gives back results which aren't in the UI

Hi Folks,

I’ve noticed that the sizes API gives back some slugs which do not appear in the UI.

curl -X GET -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $DO_TOKEN" \
    "https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/sizes?per_page=200"

Here’s the results which I can’t find in the UI (made into a table for easy viewing).

description	slug	memory	vcpus	disk	price_monthly	available
Basic Intel	s-1vcpu-1gb-intel	1024	1	25	7.0	TRUE
Basic Intel	s-1vcpu-2gb-intel	2048	1	50	14.0	TRUE
Basic Intel	s-2vcpu-2gb-intel	2048	2	60	21.0	TRUE
Basic Intel	s-2vcpu-4gb-intel	4096	2	80	28.0	TRUE
Basic Intel	s-4vcpu-8gb-intel	8192	4	160	56.0	TRUE

In terms of specs and pricing, they are the same as what is available in the ‘Basic -> Premium AMD’ tab, but according to the description and slug these are intel.

All of the other results I get from the API appear in the UI in their expected categories - so I’m a little bit lost on these particular ones.

Hoping someone might be able to clear this up.

:wave: Looks like those might be older, legacy plans. Looking at the Premium Intel tab on https://www.digitalocean.com/pricing/droplets#basic-droplets, the plans more-or-less match up, though it looks like the “current” plans have a slightly larger disk (and a slightly increased cost to match).
