Best Hardware
Hello, I have a wordpress site with lots of traffic.
I currently use a
E5-1650v3
Since I'm having load problems, it has already been optimized as much as possible.
So I need to change hardware, I would like to know what it would be better to take into consideration when it comes to switching.
More Threads or more GHz?
For I am in doubt between
2 x E3-1270v6 4c/8t - 3.8GHz /4.2GHz ( web and mysql )
or
Intel 2x Xeon E5-2630v3 - 16c/32t - 2.4GHz /3.2GHz
Well I do not know which would be more advantageous and more powerful for wordpress.
Who has experience and can help thanks.

Is that even possible?
No, E3 mobos only support 1 CPU.
What kind of load problems? CPU? RAM? Bandwidth?
I would suggest litespeed + lscache plugin, but you need specify what is the bottleneck.
I think he means two dedicated servers with these specs (one for wordpress and one for the database).
Though if you're having issues with a dedicated server and a single wordpress install, I think you have other issues going on. Unless you're getting millions of hits per day, an E3/E5 dedicated server shouldn't have any issues keeping up. Reduce your WP plugins, reduce number of requests, cache more shit. There's always further optimization that can be done.
Even with a million hits per day, he should be running out of bandwidth faster than CPU, if everything is properly cached.
Anything is possible on paper.
E5-1650v3 is much better than E3-1270v6. Maybe do you need to add some memory and better use SSD than HDD.
RAM?
HDs?
E5-1650 is a pretty powerful CPU...
I use NVME disks, 64Gb DDR4 memory
Centos + Nginx + MariaDB + Redis Cache + Php-fpm 7
My website have 600k visites uniques per day and 8 million pageviews per day.
Porn website?
If it was a porn site, the issue would be bandwidth.
Have link 2gbps full
Well funny you say that as one of the tags used was "adult hosting" so looks like it is an adult oriented site :P
How much of your content is dynamic? You should be able to toss a cache in front of it (Varnish) and offload most of your traffic from even hitting Apache/Nginx and PHP/Wordpress.
The E5-1650v3 has a passmark score of 13572
E3-1270v6 is around 11153
Dual E5-2630v3 is around 18587
If you don't understand your load profile (ie, MySQL vs Apache vs PHP vs ...) then the E5-2630v3 will be a better bet. If you can understand whats causing load, the two E3 hosts would likely be a better bet. Even though they are individually 20% or so slower, as long as half your load is from PHP and half is from MySQL, you should see nearly an 80% performance gain (all overly simplistic numbers that would need to be quantified based on your situation).
If I was working with you -- I would look at opportunities to scale this platform horizontally. Setup a pair of Varnish workers in front of a set of Nginx/PHP+Wordpress hosts (clustered) with a MySQL cluster behind it. This sounds overkill, but depending on what you are currently paying for dedicated servers, you could possibly end up paying quite a bit less by running it on smaller VPS that can scale out as your demand grows -- and not have to consider adding huge new servers.
Is not the cpu, any of those CPUs are more than enough. You need ssd hard drives to improve performance. WordPress uses a db that needs a ssd.
I use NVME disk
your server is very cool and powerful, but if the server is too loaded, then you need to have a few servers for different tasks.
I am in doubt!
nginx+php-fpm+mysql+redis full cache
nginx+php-fpm+mysql+nginx purge cache
nginx+php-fpm+mysql+varnish cache
