Probably the intel one, higher core clock, higher overall bench with fewer cores. The ryzen stuff is missing the IPC improvements of the zen2 arch.
Most gameservers are single-threaded, so fewer threads with the same score would be beneficial.
How much will you be paying for each config?
Clock speed difference isn't that large, especially considering the E5v2's older architecture. 7401P should be faster but I don't know where to get them as cheaply as some E5 offers that I've seen. I'd like to hope more Zen 2 servers will show up soon, so I'd hold out for one of those.
AMD Epyc 7401P - 150$
E5-2670v2 - 170$
Both in Frankurt but different dc's.
You need high clock not more cores.
I dunno.. the 1270v3 has a single core passmark of 2200 and 4 cores.
The E5-2670v2 has a single core passmark of 1600 and 20 cores (assuming dual). Slightly less performant, but you can load up twice the number of servers.
I used to run a 10-12 user private CS server (128 tick) on a 2GB linode instance.
