January 19, 201610 yr Just wondering if it would be of any interest to me to consider taking two of these 16 core Procs for use in a new UnRaid server. Currently I am using an Intel i5 3570K Quad-core processor with 16Gb DDR3 RAM and I have zero issues with that setup. Only time I ever have issues is with high bit rate content, ie. BluRay MKV Lossless. Stutters trying to send that much data although I have a Gigabit network and a Core i5 Mac Mini running Plex Media Center and the new Plex Media Player. My Upload rate is limited to 10 Mb so I believe I have no issues streaming to family and friends at 4 Mb each session for 720p quality streams and the i5 is not being tasked in the slightest and because I can't upload higher rated content I would never really task the processor. So with that being said would it benefit me in any way to use two Opteron 6282 SE 16-core processors? Also what would this processor be able to handle compared to the i5 3570K I am using right now?
January 19, 201610 yr Author I probably should add that I would love to be able to take my current gaming PC, which uses a i7-5820K and a GTX980 and consolidate into an all-in-one UnRaid gaming server using a Windows 10 VM and VT-d/VT-i to pass through the video card. The 3570K does not have the pass through virtualization technology. I am unsure if the Opteron 6282SE has the pass through technology. Maybe taking the gaming PC and turning that into my UnRaid machine is the answer.
