i7-3770 or E3-1245

As the title suggests, which server should I opt for ? The one with i7-3770 or an E3-1245. All other specifications are same and the price point is similar too. Please help with your suggestions.

    Do you know what you'll use the server for? If so, what features / speed / etc. do you value most in CPUs for your use case? Then, make a decision based off of that. If you can't decide on your own, I'm gonna guess you don't care about ECC ram (the i7-3770 doesn't support it, the E3-1245 does). Just get whichever is cheapest.

    The server will be only used to host wordpress and other websites. A few of those wordpress sites have huge traffic.

    E3-1245 because (hopefully) ECC-RAM. The i7 is a bit faster though.

    E3 1245 (Hetzner?)

  • myhkenmyhken Member

    I have one i7-3770 and one E3-1245v2 @Hetzner and I have had them for 1.5 years now. No issues with any of them, running several virtual machines on them all the time. And both my servers @home is running i5 and i7, again packed with virtual machines, no issues at all. So I really don't see the need for ECC RAM.

    Do you host any big database on the i7 server?

    If you can live with 1-2 unrecoverable errors per dimm every month of uptime, hoping it does not happen in critical part of memory, then you really do not need ECC RAM...

    For all the rest: I would not recommend using any consumer-grade hw (be it cpu, ram, disk, psu, etc) for server. Those things are not designed to work 24/7...

    It just depends on the application .Is this critical or casual ? If critical level,go from e3 otherwise i7 with non ecc ram work
