Apples and Oranges. Use the appropriate server for the appropriate situation.
The T2's (we have a few T5220's) are like semi trucks. They can move a large
number of packages over
distance efficiently. That is to say, they are multi-threaded multi-core with
on chip encryption to
support large numbers of ssl connections. However, the clock speed is lower, so
for a single process
that is not multi-threaded, they are slower.
If you are dealing with cpu intensive applications that have issues with
threading, then choose
another server based on another chip. But, if you have efficiently
multi-threaded applications like
web2, use a T2 or T3 based server.
With heavy usage of Drupal with Apache, MySQL and SSL, we have found that the
previous dips in
performance (when large classes all hit the servers at once) no longer occur.
The T5220 just hums
along. It's not quite as fast for some things, but it doesn't peak out the way
the other servers did.
