New Server time - AMD Epyc Vs Intel Xeon Gold

[GeXman.dk]

I need to borrow your brains for a moment.

which CPU you will you recommend ?

AMD EPYC 7402P CPU PROCESSOR 24 CORE 2.80GHZ 128MB CACHE 180W

at US $242,50

 

or,

 

INTEL XEON GOLD 6150 CPU 18 CORE 2.7GHZ 24.75MB CACHE 165W

At US $262.24

 

 

Its my time to replace my 7 year old server setup. but i'm very much in doubt on which CPU platform I should go for.

I really want a Epyc CPU as its offers much better performeces and PCIe v4 and much more.

but I'm worried when it comes to VM's and the ease of hardware Passthrough, as I'm hearing its not that easy with AMD.

Should i play safer and stay on the Intel side?

 

 

New server requirements is.

*Will run Plex

*Will run 2 VMs (one for gaming, 6Core each)

*Will run Nextcloud

*Will run 4 - 8 Game server's (2-4 shared Cores each)

Thanks in advances.
