Hi everybody!
I want to move my selfhosted services from a VPS to a PC in my house.
I have an E5-2620 and a it-6700K, which one would you pick and why?
The E5 already has 2 PCI-X each with 4 NIC (that I need to use with OpnSense to share my Internet connection with my neighbor) that I would need to throw away and buy as PCIe for the i7.
Thanks!
E5 because it supportsECC memory.
I had a 2620 v2 and got me a 2690 v2 off ebay for 20 $, 10c/20t. Best in slot, imho and dirt cheap. That’s what I would recommend. I delidded the 2620 and made it a key fob
So what was the question? It sounds like you already decided.
The biggest difference between these 2 chips is how they scale. The i7-6700k is faster but it has less cores. The E5-2620 has more cores but the clock speed and memory are much slower.

Why? No, I haven’t decided.

So for a lot of containers that each do few things, it would be better to have more cores, correct?
Without knowing what you’ll use it for, neither.
Both don’t sound ideal though w.r.t. power consumption.
