Why when choosing a processor, do not pay attention to the price per core or the price per Watt, but rather use the cost of a Megahertz with HT disabled and using Turbo Boost? Here's how it used to be good: for servers, there was a single Pentium Pro processor, which you didn't need to choose. With the advent of multi-core processors, it became clear that the more computing blocks, the better, but only until marketers stepped in and pided one CPU into ten sockets with ten cache options and ...

Practically, when you need a solution for a host running a security gateway, a 1C server and a Kubernetes node, you can even give up ECC memory in favor of Core i5, Core i3 and even Pentium Gold. In general, where a high frequency is needed in single-threaded loads, it is often not enough unless a normal motherboard We love powerful 48-core processors, but not every customer is willing to pay for such capacity: even among modern companies with hybrid infrastructure (local + remote cloud), ...
