I'm interested in using low-voltage Xeons such as the L5420 in a dual processor server. Does anyone know if these are compatible with the standard Supermicro motherboards, or are special motherboards required?
View 2 Replieswhat type of motherboard can fit into a RM215/217 server? We purchased some of these from a Dutch supplier 2 years ago, and they were delivered with Tyan AMD motherboards with S939 CPU's.
These are used for file storage, and are running 3ware 9550-sx controllers. Tasks are only rsyncing, gzipping, and rotating backups. Problem is that this is now happening fast enough with the single Opteron 2Ghz CPU they are carrying.
I want to do something like this;
* Dual Xeon Nocona, 2.8Ghz etc as we have _many_ of these CPU's already
* Dual Opteron 250-252 etc
* If as fast as the Dual Nocona, maybe a Core2 Duo, although not sure what is available w/PCI-X
So, if anyone knows, or can give any ideas, OR has any Nocona-capable motherboards for sale in Amsterdam for sale, please let me know,
BTW I have already tried doing the x2 chip upgrade on one of these, and was not impressed. The motherboard which is in these machines now IIRC is a S8965 Tyan - which has 32 bit PCI slots. I believe one of the problems here is the controller needs a 64 bit PCI slot to sit on, as it's saturating the 32 bit PCI bus.
Disk config is 8 x 750G / 9550-sx - again all I need is
* gzip / tar / move the files around & delete them
* figure 3-4TB of data on each of these boxes
OS - RHEL 5
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?

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?

Intel Quad Core Xeon X3210 vs Dual-Core 3040 Xeon
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?
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.
Which 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.

Well to make discussion more focused, a bunch of WP blogs around 50, few static, few dynamic, and around 2500 emails (in+out apart from filtered incoming SPAM) are running fine on an old 1Gb OpenVZ VPS without much load, but sites are becoming very slow (maybe shared pipe), now we have to move this client and all of his sites.

View 1 Replies View RelatedHow 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.

View 7 Replies View Relatedif 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...
I'm doing some math here for a colocation project. We need each 1U server to consum less than 100W (220V) or else no more than 0,5A
I was looking for Dell PowerEdge R410, it offers several processor options.
Both these have 60W TDP:
Intel® Xeon® L5520, 2.26Ghz, 8M Cache, 5.86 GT/s QPI, Turbo, HT, 1066MHz Max Mem
Intel® Xeon® L5506, 2.13Ghz, 4M Cache, 4.86 GT/s QPI, 800MHz Max Mem
And both these have 80W TDP:
Intel® Xeon® E5504, 2.0Ghz, 4M Cache, 800MHz Max Mem
Intel® Xeon® E5502, 1.86Ghz, 4M Cache, 800MHz Max Mem
I'm thinking of having 4x 1TB HDD's and a 3ware raid controller.
Do you think it's possible to stay under 100W with this configuration, using the L55xx processors?
Are these L55xx worthy? Or it's a waste of money?

How many vps about i can add in a server xeon cpu and 8gb ram and 100mbit speed?
Openvz technology.
One's a desktop chip, the other a specialised server one.
In terms of performance, will there be a big difference between the pair? I know the Q9950 is a cheaper processor but there isn't much difference between them on the cpu benchmark Website.
This is what I was told by ThePlanet:
As for the quote you wanted for the core 2 quad Q9550, that is slightly less powerful than the xeon 3360. We do not offer desktop grade procesors in our servers, that would be misleading to our customers. Same as the RAM we offer, we offer ECC fully buffered RAM, not desktop grade.
This is a huge difference between providers like The Planet and other mom and pop shops you see around the internet.
I can't find any direct comparisons but I am thinking of upping our server to quad core. I'm just wondering if there is a direct comparison out there - and frankly hoping it won't be much of one seeing as how it's dual core vs. quad core.
