Building a new data server...
Any opinions, facts as to whether a Xeon CPU would SIGNIFICANTLY,
NOTICEABLY outperform an Intel Core i5 on a box that is a CentOS running
MariaDB dedicated data server? I'm sure the Xeon would run cooler, fewer
cycles, etc.
I'm of the opinion, although I have no facts or data to support it, that
the i5 would not be a significant bottleneck in this environment.
If it makes any difference, the # of workstations will be between 60 and
200 with about 2/3 local network, the other half via the Internet.
I've been using a Core i5 in this configuration for a year or so and
while watching the % of "busy" on the server, it rarely exceeds 5% on
any core, any parameter.
Not going to be rendering video or 3d models...just serving bits from
data request hits.
Thanks, as always, for any sharing of your vast depth of experience, or
prejudice!
Mike Copeland
