Hi all,
I have a Dell T20 Intel Xeon E3-1225v3, 32GB ECC un-registered RAM running ESXi with various VM's (Plex Server, Web Server, Cloud Server etc etc). My Plex server is heavily used and transcodes a lot as well as heavy use on 3 other VM's.
I have an AMD FX-9590 @ 5GHz as my personal computer, which I'm looking at replacing. This also has 32GB RAM 1866 (non-ecc) but the board does support ECC un-registered RAM (not that I really need ECC RAM).
My question is, is it a better option to replace the Xeon E3-1225v3 4 core T20 Server with my AMD 8 core @ 4.7 - 5 GHz? I'm assuming double the cores and speed difference between the 2 would be noticeable in performance?
I have a H700 Raid Controller which I would just move to the AMD build. Power consumption / noise due to water cooler isn't an issue.
Thanks!
