CPU question

(1/2) > >>

Marauder2003:
Kes says we are now going to an 8 core/16 thread CPU. Would this be a Xeon?

I am ignorant on CPU types and best usage. My new PC is an i9-14900K. 24 core/32 threads. And Xeon CPUs better for server use than the 14900K?

Hell, I will donate my previous PC to the cause.

Asrock Z790 Pg Sonic mother board (latest BIOS)
Intel i9-13900K cpu 24 cores 32 threads
Kingston Fury Beast 64GB DDR5 memory
Samsung 980 PRO 1tb NVME ssd (4)
NZXT Kraken Elite 360 AIO cooler
Thermaltake Core V71 case
Plextor PX-L890SA DVD/RW drive
Cooler Master XG850 Plus 850 watt power supply
Windows 11 Pro (with key)
Office 2021 (with key)
Visual Studio 2022 Community (free)
MS SQL Server 2022 Developer (free)
Misc free software installed.

No video card as integrated CPU GPU was enough for me. Been running since last year. Little used.
I have it for sale on NevadaShooters for $1500. For Calguns taking free, if they want it.

ca1911guy:
Even the new one he is moving to is not enough, he needs a dedicated baremetal.

which means:

- dedicated CPU, 32 cores
- 16GB RAM
- SSD HD, integrated raid

calguns will be good for 2 years after that...

OR

split the servers into small virtual, most optimal.
- 4 core for forum
- 8 core for DB
- 4 core for images

In the second option, you wil lbe able to see what needs more juice and upgrade accordingly instead of one mondo upgrade..

Well, you are talking about a physical PC.  The forum is most likely in a datacenter on a virtual machine and the actual server there probably has a pretty beefy CPU and tons of RAM.  You pay for how much CPU and RAM you want and the host allocates it to your virtual server.  You can't really take a desktop machine and stick it in a datacenter and expect it to work very well.  Besides, you'd be paying $$$$ for the rental rack space and an ethernet connection - far more than you do for a virtual server.

Kestryll:
What we are going to is a Managed Dedicated Server. No VPS and no 'home box'.
These are the basic stats.
128GB DDR4 RAM
2x2TB Storage
Software RAID-1
NVMe SSD
Xeon E-2388G
8 Core / 16 Thread
1 Gbps unmetered uplink connection

Kestryll:
A 32 core CPU is never going to come with 16GB of RAM on a server.
The 32C/64T plan comes with 512GB of RAM, 6.4TB of storage and costs $900/month.
