Processors for servers: power, performance and reliability
A processor is the central element of any computer system, including a server system. It processes data, coordinates the interaction of devices, and determines the overall performance of the system. If you want to increase server efficiency, choose the right used processor with reliable performance.
The role of the processor in server operation
In server systems, processors operate in a continuous mode, serving dozens or hundreds of simultaneous requests. They ensure the launch of the operating system, access to data, and the operation of mail services and other critical software. That's why stability and multitasking come first.
Main characteristics of server processors
- Socket type - must match the motherboard (for example, LGA 1356, 1366, 2011, 2011-3);
- Number of cores - from 4 to 28+ cores for parallel processing of tasks;
- Number of threads - the more threads, the higher the multitasking (up to 56);
- Clock frequency - from 1700 to 3700 MHz (the higher, the faster the system works);
- L1/L2/L3 cache - a large amount of cache provides quick access to temporary data;
- Processor family - the most popular ones: Intel Xeon E3/E5, AMD Opteron/EPYC.
Intel or AMD?
Intel Xeon - reliability, low power consumption, and optimal performance in combination with DDR4. AMD is a budget alternative with good characteristics, often chosen for inexpensive server solutions.
Processor buffer memory
Server CPUs have a much larger cache than consumer models. This is necessary for processing multi-threaded operations without delays. The cache levels (L1-L3) are increased up to 6 times to guarantee data safety under load.
