Taddeusz Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 (edited) Just want to get some opinions on this. My Unraid server currently has an i5 8400. I'm running quite a few Docker applications including Plex (using Quicksync). I have a single Windows gaming VM sharing 4 cores with Unraid. Even used i9 9900K's are still going for around $300+. I'm curious if it would be worth it to essentially max out this "dead" socket? If I were to get the i9 I would probably pin 4 of the core/HT pairs to the vm leaving the other 4 for Unraid. Just wondering what kind of real world performance increase I might see and if it would really be worth the price tag? Edited July 19, 2021 by Taddeusz Quote Link to comment
