I am kind of at weird road for my Host selection.

I am entertaining the idea of going back to AMD for my lab.

I am looking at a host that will roughly cost 4000 dollars. Supermicro based.

Go with dual 16 core opterons or Dual 6 Core xeons this will be mostly for VDI stuff. I do have a san as well no DAS.
I know intel has better single performance record but their cpu's are more expensive and I don't think it will help in the VDI solution. Which one will run more vdi's better.

They are about the same as specs go its just the CPU question.
 
o-o wow 4k.. let me spec something out and see how it turns out.. Rack mountable?
 
Most of the stuff I spec'ed out comes in above 4k if I got with mid to top tier CPUs and max out of the ram.. What amount of ram are we talking you need.. and what performance are you looking for?
 
I think I am going to go with Intel.

I am going to do 2XE5 2620 and around 64 gigs of ram. 2u Server and 6027r-trf supermicro
3 quad port nics.
