Threadripper vs. EPYC: testing three AMD 32-core processors in server applications
32 cores is where you can still get by with a 1 VMware socket license, and therefore the processor must be the fastest in the world! We will test 6 server applications, including 1C Enterprise, MySQL and NGINX, to choose the best!
After the recent decision by VMware to change the licensing policy of Its ESXi hypervisor by accepting a limit of 32 physical cores per 1 processor socket, the 32-core milestone has become the front line where AMD reigns Supreme, and if today you choose a 32-core ...
What factors should be used to choose the server processor?
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 ...
Review of ASRock Rack E3C242D4U2-2T motherboard for budget office server
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), ...

Review of server cooler Noctua NH-D9 DX-3647 4U for Xeon Scalable
Compact cooler for Intel Xeon Scalable series processors, compatible with both mounting types: Narrow ILM and Square ILM. It has two 92mm Pull-and-Push fans, so if you install it on a 2-CPU motherboard, you get a 4-fan tube.
Initially, the Intel LGA-3647 platform was created for cloud computing, where a high density of CPU cores in one processor socket is required, but over time, quite good motherboards for workstations on Xeon Scalable appeared, and this year this processor socket looked ...
Intel Xeon D-1600 processor family
Intel has updated the Broadwell-DE series of embedded processors for Edge applications. First of all, the frequency of each of the cores has increased, support for 4 10GBe network controllers has appeared and the performance of QAT technology has increased.
We first got acquainted with the Broadwell-DE series processors in 2015. Now, four years after the initial release of this series of SoCs, Intel is releasing the 1600 Xeon D processor line, and in this article, we will discuss what's new ...
Why Intel Xeon Platinum 9200 did not go to the masses
To date, no major vendor has announced support for Intel Xeon Platinum 9200 processors. In this article, we'll talk about why.
To date, no major vendor such as Dell EMC, HPE, Inspur, Lenovo, QCT, Huawei or Supermicro has announced support for Intel Xeon Platinum 9200 processors. Other vendors such as Wiwynn, Gigabyte, and Tyan also say they have no plans to support the Platinum 9200 series. HPE (Hewlett Packard Enterprise) will support the Platinum 9200 when it closes the Cray acquisition, ...
Review of Wexler GPR109 server platform, 2-way 1U machine with PCI Express Gold-Fingers technology
Unique Intel-based 1U server platform that implements new expansion technologies. The motherboard installed in it allows you to divide the existing 32 PCI Express Gen2 lanes in various combinations, and a large selection of risers will make it possible to use cards with PCI-X, PCI-32 and PCI-64 interfaces. RTX technology allows you to use the entire height of the server chassis, and in fact, install any expansion cards of any size - at least two-slot GP-GPU cards.
These servers are built ...
