January 23, 20197 yr Recently I was given an i7-4790 for free. My current unRAID box is running an FX-8320e. My heaviest docker is currently Emby. It doesn't transcode often but when it does the CPU gets hammered pretty hard. I don't run any VMs at the moment but I would like the option to spin up at least 1 x win10 and 1 x Ubuntu VMs and have them run relatively smoothly. I don't have a socket 1150 board in the bone yard so I would need to purchase that and I'm unclear if I will get much net gain with the i7. I know all of the benchmarks out there say its a much better CPU for gaming but I haven't been able to find anything regarding virtualization. Any additional information would be greatly appreciated before I go out spending money I may not need to spend. Full docker list and current system specs listed below.
