I am in process of getting our first Opteron-based node, hopefully will be up within a month.
Exactly, Intel likes to cripple their hardware in one way or the other, AMD never does that.
No , they're just crippled unintentionally (amd)
Unless their server line is much better, I have never tried it, but my old computer had the top AMD phenom quadcore and it didn't compare to intel processors released at the same time/
I managed to procure AMD 8234 4 cpu slot version. Thats a hexacore times four aka 24 cores. While E3 benches from 10 000-13 000 on cpubench, older Instanbul still gives a punch for 9000.
I'd have thought that AMD's would be much more suited to low end providers because of the good price/performance ratio
They'll probably be gone by now if they do....
I don't use SATA or onboard controllers, so I am not sure what you are referring to.
He said you're the exception. <_<
Do you have to use an AMD specific template for a container if the CPUs are Opertons?
I saw that, I was wondering the exception to what though
A difference I can think of is that Opterons use more power than Intels.. but that's the only negative I can think of.
It is.
I've noticed other companies are only doing 4-drive arrays with their dual E5's... seems wasteful.
Do not, all of the OS software was compiled way before Xeon/Opteron, so none of it uses CPU-specific instructions
Not us! Ha! Suck it!
Because you bought a pc with a shit cpu.
Clearly you don't know anything.
Many applications are still not making use of multiple cores, I'd prefer 4 of intel's fast E3 cores than 16 2ghz amd
That's not the case with servers, applications in general.
You really don't know what you're talking about.
applications in general, that is, webserver, php handler, a couple of other things? Guess what, the majority of applications aren't written this way, genius.
Yep, it's why we don't use it. It uses considerably more power and is slower. The minor capital savings is not worth it.
But considering the amount of RAM you can pack into a system with a couple of Opterons you can have increased density and probably overall lower running costs than with an Intel based node (or multiple E3 nodes).
Depends on usage of course but in my case I think this is likely...
God, you must have an iq over 190!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GENIUS.
phpfpm, apache/nginx, all of them give you the option to add workers (and you basically assign a process per core/thread)
Congratulations, you listed three. It doesn't seem like 'applications in general' because most aren't capable of doing that
oic, nobody can be this stupid
ur le reddit tr0ll xD xD
