What to choose for a dedik - i7-3930 processor or xeon e1275?

Question

Network administration

I'm going to buy a grandfather.
from 32gb RAM, 4TB HDD... for a web application
I'm looking towards hetzner.de and their dedic auction
. Everyone was sure that xeon is better.
Tell me what to choose?

Answer 1

Well, what can I say.
i7-3930 drags a database that accepts 500 queries per day. in peak loads a little more than a lot of loads.
Before this floor, the database was spinning on the i7-4200K, which has fewer cores and a core cache of 8. And all 8 cores went into peaks at 100% cpu. And at that time she took 300 lyams a day after the change of prots, he can be said to be resting. Not even once did not even 1 core switch to the turbo boot frequency. I'm very happy with the processor. For myself, I concluded that the kernel cache solves very strongly.
just looked at the E3-1275 just the same characteristics as the i7-4200K processor that we have died. and 8MB of core cache is small and there are 8 cores, while the 3930 has 12, which is very convenient during the peaks of high loads of multi-threaded applications! I convinced myself! Xeon is certainly better than i7, but not from the 3rd family, but at least from the 5th =)
Take the i7-3930

Answer 2

Xeons are very different, e1275 is one of the weak models.
Core - a branch of processors for desktops, Xeon - a branch for servers, inside there are processors for every taste, from dual-core low-tdp 15WT to 6-8 nuclear monsters with tdp for 200.
In practice, the difference is only in ECC support and "survivability" under uncomfortable temperature conditions.

Answer 3

Xeon for sure! I've been hosted at bpw.sc/ru and felt the difference between i7 and Xeon. It was correctly said above that Xeon has an emphasis on server work.
