Currently running Zotac BI320 with a Celeron 2957U CPU and 8GB RAM + 120GB SSD
RAM is 1.5v underclocked to 1.25v
Idle Proxmox: 7.5W
Idle ESXi 5.5: 10W
Load hits around 17W max
I am using ESXi now
I am running Ubuntu Server, OSX, 2x Xpenology, and Windows 8.1
I just saw this article on the NUC i3 5010u
http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/2015/02/11/intel-nuc-kit-nuc5i3ryk-review/5
does the cpu load look realistic at 15W? another review says 21W.
Which Hypervisor will get most performance out the VMs? I tried OSX in KVM but the vSphere client with OSX felt more faster, but both under VNC are about the same. OSX is probably not optimized to run in a VM, but many people say latest kernel with KVM is the best way to go. What are you choices?
I am happy with the max loads on the Zotac, if the nuc does the same, its worth switching to, but it is quite costly at 3x the price of the zotac, 2x performance. I assume that the NUC won't boot with 1.5v ram, can it undervolt?
