Decide which CPU to use: Intel i7 or Intel Xeon


Recommended Posts

Hey,

i'm in the process of upgrading my current unraid server with a couple of used hardware i've got laying around.

 

Currently i'm using an Intel Core i7 3770k (4C/8T @ 3,5GHz, 3,9GHz boost) with 16 GB DDR3 Memory.

 

The Upgrade option would either be a Intel Core i7 4930k (6C/12T @ 3,4GHz, 3,9GHz boost) or a Intel Xeon E5-2697v2 (12C/24T @ 2,7GHz, 3,5GHz boost). Both of the, would be paired with reasonably fast 32GB DDR3 Memory.

 

Which CPU would you choose and why? Power consumption is pretty much the same. I have both CPUs here on hand, both are working as i tested before, it's basically just which would make more sense in unraid.

 

Thanks a lot!
