2 bad CPUs vs one good CPU

[Proprietary]

Which config will perform better? Dual e5-2609 or one e5-2670

[SupaKomputa]

2670 FTW.

Higher clock speed, same total cores, less power, less heat.

[emosun]

yeah the single 2670 will be faster.

even if you used two 2609's in separate machine with the same task split between the two they would be slower than the single 2670

Yes 16 threads monster for the price of pentium

2609 is not hyper-threaded... so less threads in total?

Do you think it is worth it to get 64 gb ram for this dual setup?

2609 is like an i5, no HT.

I assume you will have ddr3 reg memory, yes it's cheap as hell.

64gb for less than $100.

No I mean the dual e5-2609 setup

Is it good enough to utilize all 64though? It can technically go to 386...

there's no reason to use two e5-2609's. a single consumer grade desktop from a few years ago is basically the same speed. 

[SupaKomputa]

Well depending on the workload.

Day to day usage will never use that big.

But if you edit video or 3d then yes, more memory the better.

[SupaKomputa]

Other usage is to have a Ramdisk, which will be a blazing fast drive.

I’ll be hosting some simple servers, but yeah, 64gb ddr3 ecc reg is like 80 on Newegg. 

[Proprietary]

Wait no that’s 32...

[SupaKomputa]

Yeah, servers can benefit higher ram.

[SupaKomputa]

Check ebay or aliexpress for used server ram.
