Is the FX-8350 suitable for virtualization?

Question

Virtualization

There is a need to assemble the cheapest server for virtualization - several lightweight Linux virtual machines, 1-2 Windows. It attracts the FX-8350 processor - very cheap for 4 cores, 8 threads, DDR3 RAM, scraping together 16-32 gigs, this is enough for my purposes. There is an idea to assemble a machine, roll Proxmox - and into production. Will this idea take off? Are there any pitfalls associated with the fact that the processor itself is already quite old?

Answer 1

These cores are only rather slow by today's standards. =) And so, why not - it will work.
In general, you can take a Xeon x5650/x5675 with 12 threads, and the ability to install a cheap server ddr3, with some Chinese x58. It will probably even be cheaper.
