Looking to upgrade CPU

[matthewb987]

hi guys, Looking for some advice

 

this is my current set up and need a faster CPU what would you recommend

what CPU upgrade would you recommend

*we run a lot of high cpu usage java apps

 

[DoctorNick]

Getting B550 motherboard + Ryzen 3600, 5600X (if you can find any)

Unfortunately if you wanted to keep your current motherboard, the best you could get is a 6700K or 7700K, which are tragically overpriced.

[matthewb987]

so the best thing to do is upgrade the motherboard and then the cpu ?

if so what would you recommend

[A51UK]

The motherboard going to limit cpu you can grade too, if you need more performance then it may be best to buy a new computer or build a new one as you would have to replace the motherboard anyway. 

 

I would look at the Ryzen 5800X, if you Java program using a lot of thread best to look for a CPU with a last 8 core / 16 thread. Do you need more speed per thread or more thread?  

 

 

 

[matthewb987]

also core count is a big issue for me as i do a lot of single threaded tasks

[A51UK]

Have a look at the Ryzen 5800X (8 cores / 16 threads) but if you really need to them Ryzen™ 9 5900X (12 cores / 24 Threads). if you need to save money look at the 5600X or last gen Ryzen 7 3800X.

We will need both as we run virtual machines that also run java applications that require high cpu speeds

In this user case I would go for the Ryzen™ 9 5900X (8 cores / 16 threads) or Ryzen™ 9 5950X (16 cores, 32 threads).  It be good to give each of the VM it own set of Cores / threads, like if you have 4 VM have 16 threads you could give them 3 to 4 threads each but you would need a last one for the host. So more threads are better if you running many VM. If you need more them it may be best to wait to see what the new Threadripper come up with or look at AMD or Intel server CPUs or last gen Threadripper.

I have been looking at getting a server to run all our vms and add our client vms on to there as well

 

would you recommend this set up (not sure what motherboard it is running but all passes compatability)

 

I would then move the high usage java applications to our development set up

[A51UK]

You may not getting the high speed in the server setup and I do think that very little amount of storage, I would get 2 x 1TB of SSD does not have to be M.2 and would need to think what OS you needed, e.g. Linux or Windows server 

 

May I ask are the VM just running Java programs that you coded? and or read made programs? As I would say that the Azure App Service, there also do Windows and Linux server as well but the benefit of using App Service is that you do not have to deal with the OS just up load the code and on both of them you can easy backup the systems.
