Choose a dedicated server between AMD Epyc 7351P and Intel 2x Xeon E5-2630v3?

Question

System administration

My head is already swollen , help me decide...

there are two dedicated servers to choose from. Are there any features of working with server support on amd compared to xeon? what will be easier / more reliable in terms of support? ps. both on OVH one is rize-4 the other is advance-4.. For an online portal, calculation of estimates, quite a lot of database reading/writing, and the heaviest one is html->pdf. pdf->img I will be very grateful for your comments

Answer 1

True noticed ky0 , AMD has 16 cores on one processor, and Intel has two processors, 8 cores each. A single-processor AMD will be faster, if only because on a dual-processor NUMA it will sometimes slow down memory access. Moreover, the memory itself on Intel is slower.

Answer 2

Well, look at the specs. In general, judging by the copy-paste, for some reason you are comparing a single-socket server with a two-socket one.
In order to rest a (normally configured) DBMS on the processor, and not, say, memory / disk, you need to try pretty well.
In terms of support, it doesn't matter if something breaks, in theory, OVH should replace it anyway.

Answer 3

The frequency of the memory is different - 2400 versus 1866.
Considering that AMD and 2x Intel have the same number of memory channels - 8, the frequency plays a role in speed.
So AMD has a maximum memory bandwidth of 153.6 GB/s versus 59 GB/s for Intel.
Feel the difference.
You can take the specified servers from these hosters without paying for the installation
