Atom Processors
Mar 29, 2009I am noticing that some hosts are now offering duel-core Atom Processors. Anyone have any experance with this (as a cPanel Hosting Server)

View 14 RepliesWe are comparing these 2 systems:
Intel Quad Core Q9300
4x2.5 GHz
250GB Sata HD
2 GB of ram
vs.
P4 3.0 w/ HT
250GB Sata HD
2 GB of RAM
Thoughts? Would the quad core blow the other away? We are looking to take 2 of the P4 and condense them into 1 of the Q9300...thoughts?
Has anyone done something like this?
How well does the Q9300 perform?
My company is on the market for a new dedicated provider/server and I need to know what the best processor is to go with?
I'm looking for something in the multi-processor/multi-core range, basically an enterprise server that can later be load balanced or clustered in the near future.
Please only experienced professionals with this server range reply.
This is possibly not the best place for this question but none the less, I am giving it a shot.
How much better are Xeon processors than Core 2 Duo processors? What goes into the brand difference? I know that they're built on the same architecture, but I'm unsure as to which is better.
I've got two choices, both Intel processors built on the Kentsfield Core 2 architecture.
Stats seem exactly alike, except one difference: the Core 2 Duo processor has a 9x multiplier (2.4GHz), while the Xeon processor has a 8x multiplier (2.13 GHz). I really see no advantage in taking the Xeon processor, which costs more. Multiplier difference shouldn't make a big deal.
So, anybody know what goes into the "Xeon" brand these days? The exact model numbers, by the way, are Q6600 for the Core 2 Duo and X3210 for the Xeon.
I am looking at some options for a server and have a dual processor question.
I am looking at a server with two Dempsey 5050 processors.
My question is this.
Is it possible to put two Dempsey 5050 processors in a server and turn one of them off so it can not be used?
I know some are going to say why do i want to do this and I might as well explain it now to get it out of the way. My colo will not let me keep space parts on hand and I have a client that may want to single Dempsey 5050 processor in his server and I would like to keep one Dempsey 5050 on hand as a spare for my server and other servers that use the Dempsey 5050 processor. I figured if put one on a board that supports two Dempsey 5050's and turn it off it would be like keeping a spare on hand.
i read that these consume less energy therefore lower cost to bandwith ratio ? is this true?
would it be able to run ffmpeg?
atom dedi's, performance etc..
Are these worth using?
I'm contemplating whether to get a quad core high clock speed OR 2x quad core lower clock speed processor for my rack server.
The question boils down to.. Does Apache, PHP, and MySQL support multi-threading? Will having a bunch of cores just be a waste if high-traffic web hosting is the primary goal?
I run a PHP/MySQL intensive shopping cart.
I have a new server. Is there any way, from the command line if possible, to tell how many processors and cores my new server has?
View 14 Replies View RelatedI recently came across the pricing of Intel Atom powered Dedicated Servers which are as low as $39 (not managed of course) but, the hard disk space and bandwidth bundled with it is tempting.
I currently host a vBulletin Forum of mine of a 512 MB VPS and it performs fine but, I was thinking whether it would be better on an Atom as most are bundled with 2 GB of RAMs.
Anyone can help me out here - whether am thinking in the right direction or am entirely wrong in thinking this?
What is your experience in using ATOM (320/330) servers? What are you using it for? Shared, reseller, VPS (HyperVM or other), backup, ...?
View 14 Replies View RelatedI was talking with a friend and neither of us has used both the atom 330 and the AMD Athlon 64 3500. Has anyone used both of these and did you notice with one performed better?
View 11 Replies View Relatedif anyone has had any experience with the new Atom servers offered by SingleHop. From what I read they seem somewhat promising but since it is new to the market from what I understand I don't really want to jump right into it head first.
Any reviews/comments would be helpful.
I've spend some time today in reading about different Intel based processors. I'm learning fast (I didn't know too much about chips... untill now ) but there is something I still need to ask, since I didn't find an answer. So:
Which Quad-Core Xeon processor (from low cost ones) do you like more?
... Kentsfield, Yorkfield, Clovertown, Clovertown" (low voltage), Harpertown, Harpertown (low voltage).
From waht I saw I could guess that Clovertown is the most popular...?
Should I upgrade form my VPS to the atom server.
The VPS
768 MB ram
40gb Disk
1 Xeon core 2.3 Ghz
Atom 330 Dual Core - 1.6GHz
250GB SATA
1024MB DDR2 667
2500GB Transfer
100Mbit burstable port
5 Usable ip's
The load on my vps sometimes get up to about 4 and I do notice a slight slowdown so any comments would be helpful.
Just wondering for anyone whos done a kernel compile on an Atom based machine, how long did it take?

If I'm running a Xeon Quad, do I really need irqbalance running?
if anyone has put Windows 2003 x64 on an Atom and installed a very light duty Exchange server on it...
I know the Atoms are not the most powerful thing in the world, but they are a cost effective and energy efficient alternative to past generation hardware.
Since the Atom benchmarks slightly better than a P4, I am wondering how it would hold up with an Exchange server.
I just got an Atom 330 and it shows that i have 4 Cores. Is it normal?
cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep Atom

Atom N330 with 2G RAM,
is it powerful enough for vBulletin or osCommerce 500 users online?
I am getting the following error in Plesk, on the Applications page:
"APS Catalog error: Unable to parse the ATOM content. DOMDocument::loadXML(): Opening and ending tag mismatch: hr line 5 and body in Entity, line: 6"
Clearing cache (as advised here: [URL] ....) - does not work, unfortunately.
As I noticed, the error started to occur right after Plesk was updated to v11.5.30_build115130819.13
