Searching a new CPU

[maba]

I have around 6-8 virtual machines running on my computer which my old i5 is just not capable of. So I search a new CPU making this possible, as it is only CPU making problems, while both RAM and Graphiccard are under a really small load.

 

Which CPU/motherboard combination would you suggest? don't want to spend over 600$ on CPU + Motherboard

 

thank you for the help

April i think

it's going to be 12nm isn't it?

would be probably good as the system runs 24/7

yes with lower latency and slightly higher clocks compared to first gen ryzen.

[maba]

will it have a lower power consumption?

Use Xeon. They are much better for server/VM tasks.

which one would you suggest?

Honestly I would take advantage of the price cuts/deals on the current Ryzen lineup.  Wait one more year till the 7nm ryzen chips come out as you would be easily able to upgrade with the am4 platform.

ok

oh and towards the xeon how are they now with the recent security problems?

E5-2670v2 looks good to me. Although it has low single core score but it's a 10 core BEAST. It would cost you around $150. Add $100-125 for the motherboard.

Found a better one: E5 2690 v2. It has 1.5x the performance and also has a better single core score. Should cost you around 300.

Here is the comparison vis a vis i5 3570

Well according to CPU.Userbenchmarks that has a much lower speed than the amd ryzen 1800x in single core, quadcore and multicore of around 35%

given that it is at least as expensive (at least here in Germany even more expensive) it does not really look that attractive to me
