E3 1270v3 vs 2x E5 2620v4

joeri

Hello Guys,

For my new VPS environment for cheap VPS servers i have a choice of 2 CPU's.

1x Intel Xeon E3 1270v3 3.5Ghz

• 4 core's | 8 threads

• 32GB DDR3 ECC

• 2x500GB SSD - RAID 1

2x Intel Xeon E5 2620v4 2.1Ghz

• 8 core's | 16 threads - Total 16 core's | 32 threads

• 64GB DDR4 ECC

• 4x500GB SSD - RAID 10

The VPS plans:

1 core | 512MB RAM | 8GB SSD - € 2,50

1 core | 1GB RAM | 16GB SSD - € 5,00

2 core's | 2GB RAM | 32GB SSD - € 10,00

2 core's | 4GB RAM | 64GB SSD - € 20,00

4 core's | 8GB RAM | 128GB SSD - € 40,00

6 core's | 16GB RAM | 256GB SSD - €80,00

What more importent for you guys a higher clock speed or dedicated cpu resources.

Please let me know

E5 will allow you oversold much more crazy

It depends on your customer base I assume. If you are targeting people with heavy cpu usage (I.e game servers) then more the better. But for quick burst faster clock will offer improved performance.

16*8 128 holy cow that's a lot of vm. E5 as a host will give you more cram room but you might need to up your total drives.

I know @fransico made a perfect explanation a while ago about how e5 vs e3 works out on hosting scenario.

Edit: or is it 16x8x 2 for dual.

The server have 2 CPU's each have 8 cores, total 16 cores

edited the threads ;-)

e3 has better single core performance

As others have said it depends who you are marketing it for and how much you plan to utilize, cost per server. I wouldn't of picked that E5 but I'm assuming they are a similar price range since one is raid 1 and the other raid 10.

It looks that we gonna use the 2x Intel Xeon E5 2620v4

2x Intel Xeon E5 2620v4 is much better especially for your planned usage, compare their benchmark too:

http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Xeon+E3-1270+v3+@+3.50GHz

https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Xeon+E5-2620+v4+@+2.10GHz&id=2766&cpuCount=2

HostBastic

The 2x E5 is more suitable to your needs due to the higer core and thread count. The SSD Raid 10 will offer better I/O performance.

E3 if Gaming Services
E5 if VPS Services (E5 has Dual CPU so it will have 64 vCPU)

16 Cores = 32 vCPU and 2x = 32 Cores = 64 vCPU

Datacenter or Company URL which are offering this?

Each CPU have 8 cores and 16 threads.
It's total 16 core's and 32 Threads.

We use own hardware.

You can rent that server from us, starting at € 100 each month

2x Intel Xeon E5 2620v4 2.1Ghz

Oh, That means vCPU = 32 then it will be best for VPS hosting.
