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!

    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.

      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.

      So for a lot of containers that each do few things, it would be better to have more cores, correct?
