Which Processor is Best?

[iHate]

Hi Guys,

would just like to know which Server processor you would use
if you where to buy a server so if you had the choice to choose
any processor for your server without extra cost which one
would you choose?

Depends. If you want to buy a high end one, dual quad xeon will do the job for you.

Dual Xeon E5620 ?

With your choices - Intel Xeon i7 W3520 - 4x2(HT)x 2.66+ GHz

seems to be good.

Don't opt for AMD counterparts, most of em are plagued with overheating problems, even though the performance difference is negligible. Cheers to Intel Xeon i7

I had buy Dual Xeon 5620 as well

Its one of the best and high end CPU used by even most of the biggest companies like cirtex and arvixe

I belive that Intel is the best option.

Intel is great but the AMD counterpart is just as good at a cheaper price.

 

[Bob ho]

I would choose
Intel Xeon i7 W3520 - 4x2(HT)x 2.66+ GHz
because I like intel better than AMD

Thanks for all the info guys

This was very useful for me as i'm buying a server
and believe it or not the Intel Xeon i7 W3520 - 4x2(HT)x 2.66+ GHz
is the cheapest option :P compared to the
Intel Bi Xeon E5606 - 2x4x 2.13+ GHz
and
AMD Opteron 4174 - 6x 2.30+ GHz
