edit: forgot to put in title, this is quad opteron 16c (i.e. 6276) vs dual 12c broadwell low power
Hey guys, looking at switching up my quad opteron 6172 setup for something else. I am looking for power savings but not at the expense of killing performance.
Im using this thing as a dvr, gateway, pbx, media server/organizer and that sorta thing. This thing stays at around 50% cpu utilization or greater.
Im looking at either dual 12c broadwell xeon (bigger initial cost but way less energy) or upgrading to quad 6276 opterons (more energy less initial cost).
My questions:
Would dual 12c broadwell be a lot slower for the kinds of things im doing vs quad 16c opteron? Or in the ballpark even?
And would the energy savings be sufficient enough at .09/kwh to even matter? Though I would like to power this thing in emergency situations...
