Which CPU is better for Proxmox, E3-1230v3 or E5-2620v3?

sonicsonic Veteran

I'm going to build server to run Proxmox, which CPU is better?

This is the first time i own dedicated server, i want to install Proxmox under Debian 8 then split into some small VPS. How do i secure my dedi after install Promox?

  • I would go for that E5 all the way over that E3.

  • E5 - it's 2 processors platform, E3 - 1 processor, so E5 will be more cute )

  • E5 has more cores (6 vs 4) and a slightly higher total passmark score.

    However, the E3 has about 25% better per-core performance.

    So this all depends on your workload. You want to run single-threaded applications? Get the E3. You want >32gb of ram? Got to use the E5.

    All in all, it mostly comes down to cost. Go with the cheapest option.

  • Usually provider charge about 2x on that E5 than E3. Make sure you check the price tag first.

  • What exactly are you looking to run on the server? This may effect the answer slightly

    E5 is much better, true server CPU. E3 is like budget server CPU version.

    I'm talking about the host server charged by a dedi provider.
