Subject: [plug] Dual Core or Dual Processor?
For a web/mail server which is better?
Dual Processors (3.2GHz each)
or
Dual Core Processor (2.8GHz)
Let us assume both are priced the same, which would you pick?
i wont going to answer your question but i will give you a better view what
is best for you depends on your needs...
on the hardware level... single dual core performs better than dual single
core assuming on the same frequency when it comes to cpu bound processing...
but dual single core has a better uptime than single dual core when a
physical cpu fails... furthermore, single dual core is more expensive than
dual single core as of the moment...
on the software level... both single dual core and dual single core benefit
from it when a system have lots of active processes and specially doing a
lot of threads per process... as long as a process is more on cpu bound than
i/o bound then you need more cpu in it...
it would be best if you can get a motherboard that can do dual single core
processors and capable to repalce with two single dual core processors when
you need more cpu processing later on...
fooler.
