minecraft Is an (Some type of CPU) good for a Minecraft Server

[SagoDEFCON]

Hi I know CPUs and RAM are the main part of the Minecraft server. (Because Minecraft uses your CPU for graphics more than your GPU.) Here is a list of CPUs (AMD, Intel, and some GPUs for the AMD products.)

(All CPUs would have 32gb - 128gb of RAM, and would be used on a Distribution of a Linux Kernel or Windows 10 Pro.)

• Intel Core i9 10900K Dual (or none dual) or Intel Core i9 9900K Dual (or none dual)
• AMD Ryzen 9 3900XT (Maybe Dual) w/ some GPU
• AMD Ryzen 9 5950x w/ some GPU

Listing more soon.

lists mean nothing if you don't provide sources to back up the claims.

As I understand it the Mine-craft server software is very single threaded meaning for a given number of players the higher the single threaded performance the better.

Iirc Minecraft uses single core a lot, so you should probably go for the 5950X.

Two things though:

• You can't do dual ryzen or core i9 CPUs, those features are usually limited to server CPUs
• You probably don't need that much unless you're hosting a huge server

I think OP is making a list of CPUs they are considering and asking for input, rather than listing CPUs they would recommend to other people.

The strategy that worked best for me is to disable all but 2 cores, then overclock until you're spent.

I'm using a Phenom II X4 955, and with 4 cores, I could only get 3.95 GHz, but with 2 cores (one for server, one for OS), I could get 4.4.

I then used a 3D Rage II +DVD (from the Windows 98 days) as my display output since it ignores GPU power.

So far it seems to be working well.

Not the way I am understanding it personally. Seems more like a list of what CPUs he is stating are the best for the servers. At least, thats my interpretation of it.

Kinda, but I'm just saying I seen those CPUs or would use those CPUs for a server.

Linus used two Intel Core i9 9900k each CPU on one motherboard.

No, he used 2 separate Mini-ITX motherboards.

Go watch the video again.

I mean't 1 CPU on 1 Motherboard.

Oh, ok.

The way you phrased it sounded like you meant 2 CPUs on 1 motherboard, which isn't possible with the Core series or Ryzen.
Afaik only Xeons support multi-CPU.

only certain xeons support multi cpu i believe... workstation W series are single socket... L/X and E series are multi-socket.
