I've noticed many questions on this site about xeon and quad-core server technology and products. I work at intel and we have a new open online community space where we are inviting IT professionals to come and ask questions to product and technology experts, engage in open dialogue, or read about topics and trends impacting IT and business.

Anyone have the latest Xeon 3460's, any comparison to the Core i7 920?
[url]
can someone give a comparison betwen this two
Intel Quad Core Xeon X3210 vs Dual-Core 3040 Xeon
if there is already an equivalent Xeon for the i7 processors?
I mean that for example C2Q Q6600 is equivalent for X3220 if I'm right.
Also, I guess those Servers will cost a lot more, not only because the processor is very costly but it also requires DDR3 RAM which is still nowadays quite expensive...
while I'm surfing the net i find this site where it has a price list for the parts of a computer and i saw an Intel Xeon processor and it's priced is affordable to me.. Hmm.. My question now is it Ok to buy this processor? because some of my I.T. friends here tell me that it is for Server based processor only and it is not suitable for PC HOME USER..

Which is better for a Game server?
on my dedicated server provider it said that i was ordering a Quad core Xeon 3320 2.5 ghz and when i got it and checked the server specs, it said Core2Quad Q9400 2.66 GHZ. I emailed them why it didnt say Xeon 3320, and this is their response
Intel repackaged the Core2Duo Q9300 as the Intel Xeon 3320. The only difference that Intel will verify is that the CPU will readout "Xeon X3320" instead of "Q9300". Both chips have the same components.
If you look at other sites, you will see them list other processors in the same way "Xeon XXXX 2.XGhz (Core2Duo/Quad)".
Ive had different opinions from different people saying they are the same and some saying that they are not. So im asking you guys now. Is this true?
Just curious if any dc already got those?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am in searching of getting a dedicated server and i need to know the difference between a dedi with Intel Pentium 4 3.0GHz HT
and another dedi with Xeon 2.4Ghz (both plans are with 2gb ram) so the only difference is the cpu.
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...?
Does anyone have an opinion on the Intel Dual Xeon Quad Core Clovertown versus the AMD Dual Core Dual Opteron? I'm assuming the Xeon is better. I recently put in an order for one, and I'm hoping I made the right decision (Yes I know it would have made more sense to ask before ordering but that's not how I roll) .
View 8 Replies View RelatedWould you provide some quick considerations, if Intel Q9400 Quad Core would be "better" than Dual Xeon 2.80GHz/Hyperthreaded at the same price?
well, I know xeon is an old one, but does it worth bothering to change from Xeon to that Q9400?
Web hosting is a competitive business with thousands of providers in the market. Success as a web hosting provider often comes down to maximizing the number of customers we can support for each additional server added to the infrastructure. To improve our success in this equation, it becomes critically important to find and use the correct machine/severs - all for excellent prices.
So friends I was just guessing an approx. no. of clients I will be able to accommodate per Intel-Nehalem-Server, (depending on the server resource utilization).
Haven't seen much debate lately on what processors to use within dedicated database servers. We're currently considering Dell 2950s and 2970s with the following:
Two Dual Core AMD Opteron™ 2212
- 2.0GHz, 2X1MB Cache, 1Ghz HyperTransport
Two Quad Core Intel® Xeon® E5310
- 1.60GHz, 2x4MB Cache, 1066MHz FSB
8GB RAM, single SAS, 3.5-inch, 15K RPM Hard Drive for OS, single SAS, 3.5-inch, 15K RPM Hard Drive for SWAP, and four SAS, 3.5-inch, 15K RPM Hard Drives in a RAID10 array for database storage.
We'll be getting one server just for MySQL applications and one server for just PostgreSQL applications.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm thinking in changing my actual dedicated server, but I'm not sure if I will win with the change.
I use it for web hosting, but I am going to need a lot of Mysql use.
I also want to work with Flash Media Server or Red5, but I have the project stopped.
All are almost in the same price. What do you recommend me?
I have never touched Linux and my Server is Windows 2003, do you recommend me to change to Linux?

We are hosting our software system which do calculation and file manipulation.
Now we have Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 and would like to get Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 to increase our system performance.
Also we have other choice, get Intel Xeon E5405 Harpertown 2.0GHz
to replace two above.
I think it is better to have one server box because one box easy to manage than two. Also Harpertown is much faster than these two together.
What is your opinion?
planing to buy a new server a little confused which i should choose .... which server would you go for...

Softlayer is pricing these both the same, and I've been a big fan of the
x3220 for a long time now. I haven't been able to fine ANY reasonably priced servers that can out perform the x3220 in computational ability.
That said, does anyone have any figures that would suggest the 5410 is better?
Single Processor Quad Core Xeon 5410 - 2.33GHz (Harpertown) - 1 x 12MB cache
vs
Single Processor Quad Core Xeon 3220 - 2.40GHz (Kentsfield) - 2 x 4MB cache
Clearly the cache is bigger, but for me, it's about speed and computation.
I can't find any references to the x5410 in the VPS vs Dedicated thhread.
I would like to compare a Dual Xeon 3Ghz HT with a single Quad Xeon 2.4Ghz. Does tperformance difference worth $60 month plus?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI just ordered a dell server a few days ago and have noticed in addition to a free harddrive upgrade I now have an upgraded processor for the same price.
PE860 Quad-Core Xeon X3220 2.4GHz/2x4MB 1066FSB (105W)
Free Processor Upgrade to QC Xeon 5320
The question for me is which is better? The previous processor was the low energy 105W one which suited me fine as I'm co-locating this to a DC where they are very strict on power consumption.
Is this one going to provide a noticable performance increase over the first? Is it a major power hog?
I have currently a server with a "Intel Core 2 duo e6640 2.4Ghz".
Now the company I'm at moving to a new data center and offering me a box for the same price with a Intel P3.4.
As I understand I would move from a two core to a single core CPU.
In the first move letter they send me, they where saying I would get a CPU plus, plus 1 GB mem more.
There's something I've always wondered, what makes a Xeon a Xeon?
For instance, what is the difference between a Core 2 Quad Q9300 and a Quad-Core Xeon E5420. Both are quad core, have a 1333MHz FSB, run at 2.5GHz, have SSE4.1, any all the specs seem identical.
Only difference I see is the Xeon has 12MB cache compared to the Q9300's 6MB.
But generally speaking, what makes a Xeon such much better for a server environment than a Core 2 processor.
from the title, which one is better for a server?
View 14 Replies View RelatedWhich is a better option? Both priced same, I know with the Xeon 5310 the possibility of upgrading to dual cpu's.
Quote:
Single Processor Quad Core Xeon 3220 - 2.40GHz (Kentsfield) - 2 x 4MB cache
Single Processor Quad Core Xeon 5310 - 1.60GHz (Clovertown) - 1 x 8MB cache
Which would give higher performance in a shared web hosting environment?
Which one is better: Dual Xeon 2.8GHz/HT vs Dual Core Xeon 2.4GHz (3060) for shared hosting with database intensive? Both with 4GB RAM.
