This is like asking which cheese is more stinky.
The E3 can use ECC memory, so a server with this CPU could be more stable if the server is equipped with ECC memory.
What are you planing to use the server for?
Without knowing the intended usage, I would choose the Xeon E3-1245V2.
Which one is it?
Looking at the chips, I’m gonna make a wild guess and presume that you’re trying to pick a server from Hetzner’s server auction. If this is the case, I’ve tried both i7’s and they are both really stable, with arguably close performance (I remember this E3 to be a bit slow but I’m not sure). So, if your use case is not too mission critical, I’d say take the cheapest with the better disk.
Given what you said, I think I'd be making a good guess at saying you're comparing hetzner's auction servers. When it comes to raw CPU performance, the i7-4770 is slightly better in both single and multi threaded workloads. As for the Xeon E3-1245V2, (If you are using Hetzner), they usually come with ECC memory and intel NIC cards (Please check to verify this before-hand), which would be more stable in terms of network and memory. It really comes down to what you're going to do, but hopefully I helped a bit.
E3 is more stable but I would prefer 4770 for extra performance.
They are all the same in the end.
Thank you.
For many purposes including DNS, email, web, databases and so on. Particularly I am keen to get some dynamic websites and web applications to run with lesser downtimes. I am thinking about a redundant server model to have them available during system upgrades and minimize the interruptions caused by unexpected events.
Thanks. I have so far not had my own ECC memory fitted server. May be I should try one this time.
Just remember raid isn’t a backup so make sure you find something off server if you want stability.
Thanks. Let there be many more Hetzner like companies around!
Thank you. "a bit" of help is not taken as "a bit".
Thanks. This time I am after more stability.
Thanks. I wanted to get a sense of what others may have experienced.
Oh.... what I had been thinking for ages but not done. I promise I'll do it tomorrow
i7-3770 in HZ sometimes is no so stable. I just cancelled one which is always down and has to be reboot manually.
Instead of contacting support you just let the server go, so the next person gets a broken server from the auction. Well played.
If you can, add more ram. You need it if you want to maximize the power of these servers
Of course I report the problem and communicate with them for serveral times. Maybe just because of the libtorrent version which I'm using to torrent. Besides I'm not the only one encountering the similar problem with i7-3770.
It's not my responsiblity to make the server working all right. You can help them. The model is SB51 with datacenter ssd 960G.
Hi @daozhi - It sounds like you're dissatisfied with our support team. If you have at ticket number, I would be curious to see what happened in your case and what our team could possibly have done better. Thanks in advance! --Katie
Actually, your support is quick and effective.Maybe just because some packages are not so well compatible with i7-3770 cpu or its motherboard.
I already cancelled that server and will choose another one. Thanks anyway!
Nobody not even going to mention 3770 and 4770 arent exactly server CPUs..
Did anyone mention Hetzner yet?
I would honestly go with AX-41 since it is just few extra € per month for much better performance, more memory etc.. But out of these 3, i would go with 4770 (best performance) or Xeon (ECC).
Or an AX41 for best of both worlds. Performance and ECC. Don't think OP is interested in the setup fees though by the sounds of it.
Two old ones will outperform an AMD Ryzen 5 3600 in several ways.
How so?
Horizontally scaled distributed system with support for failover and rolling system upgrades. To get some of such qualities with Ryzen 5 3600, one will still need at least two of them.
What the ... are you on about?
You want stability, you list 3770 and 4770, both consumer CPU's which neither have any server grade mobos to my knowing. Neither support ECC. Both are old-ish and knowing Intel, no upgrade path what so ever on either.
You want server grade stability, get server grade hardware.
Unless we're on Low End PC
E: And as much as you love to downplay Ryzen, that 3600 straight out kills both of your listed CPU-s in every regard + having ECC.
