i think to buy a dedicated which processor is better,
for big vbulletin and medium php/mysql sites
1- Intel Xeon Dual CPU Dual Core Woodcrest 5160 3.0GHz w/4MB L2 Cache Per Core
2 - Quad Core Xeon X3353 Processor 2x6M Cache, 2.66GHz, 1333MHz
I understand that the woodcrest is a better processor. Just want people's opinions if it justifies the price.
Here are the configurations we are looking at:
Dual Xeon 3.2 SCSI
2GB of RAM
2 x 73GB SCSI Disk
Cpanel
-----------------------------
$222
or
Dual Intel Woodcrest 5130 Dual Core
4GB of RAM
2 x 146GB, 10K RPM SCSI
cpanel
-----------------------------
$385.00
We host approx 100 sites on a server. 60% are static sites and 40% are ecommerce or sites with a database. Just curious if the performance increase will justify the price on the woodcrest vs the xeon.
Also is $385 a good deal for this setup?
Its been asked many times, please help me decide a new server and we'll keep this topic limited between only 3 configs in question.
I've been using 2 dedicated servers
2.8Ghz dual xeon.
Now its time for a new one. Iam going with Softlayer this time and need your kind suggestion for which of these can handle a good amount of shared hosting traffic.
A).Dual Processor Single Core Xeon - 3.00GHz (Irwindale) - 2 x 2MB cache - HT
Second Processor
Single Core Xeon - 3.00GHz (Irwindale) - 2 x 2MB cache - HT second_processor
B). Processor Dual Core Xeon 5130 - 2.00GHz (Woodcrest) - 1 x 4MB cache
C).Single Processor Quad Core Xeon 3220 - 2.40GHz (Kentsfield) - 2 x 4MB cache
My choice is (A) the Irwindale one.
about thei5 and i7 cpu,
what series of xeon are the same as they are?
Intel Xeon 3200 series Quad Core VS Intel Core2Quad Q6600
What stood between Intel Xeon 3200 series Quad Core VS Intel Core2Quad Q6600?
I'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?

Im thinking about make littel upgrade. At this time I have Intel Xeon Dual CPU Dual Core Woodcrest 5160 3.0GHz w/4MB L2 cache and I wolud like to change them to: Dual Xeon E5405 Quad Core (Harpertown). The price and other server parameters are almoust the same. When
I change server I will be have better performance?
server is all decided on. Now the processors are my last choice before picking a colo.
But the processors are confusing. There are other posts on here talking about the Dempsey, Woodcrest and the Clovertown. The research I have done on this has told me to stay away from the Dempsey. So not I need to decide between the Woodcrest 5150 (2x 2.0G) and the Clovertown E5320 (4x 1.86G).
Can someone shed some light on this two and explain in plain English which one would be the better of the two? I have read where some people say the Woodcrest would be the better choice and others say the Clovertown would be the better choice. We know the Clovertown has 4 cores and the Woodcrest has 2 cores.
Could someone explain which would be the better choice and why that would be the better choice?
Just saying it had 4 cores does not always mean it is better from what I haver read.
I'm planning on getting a new dedicated server from SoftLayer. I'm interested in the Xeon 5100 or 5300 series. Which one is better:
Dual Processor Quad Core Xeon 5310 - 1.60GHz (Clovertown) - 2 x 8MB cache
or
Dual Processor Dual Core Xeon 5140 - 2.33GHz (Woodcrest) - 2 x 4MB cache
Both cost the same.
Also, I heard that Apache is capable of taking advantage of multi-core processors (such as the dual proc quad core Clovertown) but that cPanel does not compile Apache in a correct way for it to function properly (efficient) on such machines. Is this true? Can this be solved? Does this mean I have to compile Apache manually?
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 was talking to a friend tonight and he mentioned that CentOS 32 bit may not support dual Woodcrest 5150 2.66GHZ chips.
I was wondering if there is anyone out there that is using CentOS 32 bit version and is running with 2x Woodcrest 5150 chips or even one of them. I would like to put this myth to rest (I hope) before I have CentOS installed on my server.
can someone give a comparison betwen this two
Intel Quad Core Xeon X3210 vs Dual-Core 3040 Xeon
We are using the SC512L-260B chassis for our lower end machines, what is a good recommendation for say Dual Opteron or Dual Woodcrest servers?
Looking 1U that will handle 2 drives, but would also like a recommendation for going with 4 drives (would this require 2U?). Hot swap not necessary.
When it comes to CPUs I am pretty clueless, so excuse any silly comments here.
I am little confused by the performance benefits vs price of quad core and duale core processors. I am hoping some of you experts can clarify this for me.
For example, on newegg they have the following:
Intel Xeon 5160 Woodcrest 3.0GHz for $877
and the
Intel Xeon E5345 Clovertown 2.33GHz for $879
Now though the Clovertown has a lower processing speed, I get to run 4 processes simultaneously and have an aggregate total processing power of 9.32 ghz.
On the other hand, the Woodcrest proc allows me to run 2 processes simultaneously and I have an aggregate total processing power of 6 ghz.
Now I am probably reading this wrong, but why would you purchase the woodcrest when the price is essentially the same and benefits are much greater?
On a last note, do programs such as mysql and apache 1.3 take advantage of the multiprocessors?
I 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?
Does anyone know a way to put Virtuozzo on a Nehalem node?
Secondly, do these Nehalem's have a great increase in Virtualization like they say, versus the 5450 series?
I would like to know this just for general reference. Because in a VPS to VPS envoironment are these really better? If there's no solution to this I guess the best solution would be a 7xxx 16 core Xeon, what's your opinions on that?
Can anyone give any real world numbers as to what each model of the Juniper-J series router is capable of? How much do these routers cost, and where is the best place to get them from?
View 14 Replies View RelatedIn one of our racks, we now just have two Procurve (J4900B) switches, and run software firewalls on our CentOS servers. We are now looking towards a hardware firewall to ease managment and reduce load on our servers.
One of our suppliers reccomends the SSG140 from Juniper, and it seems to cover our needs. The SSG320 however seems to have more features, like layer3 routing. Could this device replace our Procurve switches, and act as a firewall/switch?
Anyone familiar with these devices and have some input on what to choose? How does the anti-ddos and bruteforce attack functions work out, do they hold up? Anyone tested the Deep Inpspection Signature module? Is it worth having for a ISP/Webhost?
any experience and feedback on Juniper J-series routers?

I can't find either
a) an explanation as to why the server cpu's are superior to the desktop equivilents
or
b) benchmarks comparing them.
even mainstream hardware sites like tomshardware has benchmarks for server hdd's, but not server cpu's for some reason.
apart from the ability to use dual cpu's in a single machine, what is the advantage? what warrants the price difference? are there benchmarks available anywhere to compare comparable models? (example, woodcrest xeon 5150 2.66ghz vs conroe c2d e6700 2.66ghz)
Has anyone got Virtuozzo working with the new Nehalem's (55XX) series? I know some people got Xen working and Hyper-V for Windows.

I'm focusing in on the Cisco 3750G-24TS, which seems to cover all the bases I need from a hardware standpoint. What I'm looking for from this crowd is any information they can share about that switch from a service & reliability perspective, especially how Cisco has treated you when you run into problems with the devices.

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.
