--- Quote from: Rub on September 25, 2012, 01:21:34 AM ---3.4GHz Intel quad core (i5 or i7 can't decide), 16GB RAM, 1TB HD, 100mbps uplink to a quality network, that's the New York node. Went for Intel as Blockland needs good single core performance, spending less and getting an AMD CPU would show I lack commitment to quality. Each hardware node is limited to 20-25 Blockland servers to ensure every customer has adequate resource to expand without problems. --- End quote --- :cookieMonster: that is nearly the same specs as my computer I'm going to build. Except I will have i7 3.5GHz and 8GB RAM. ;) |

That's 5.6 billion more calculations per second. --- End quote --- you cant compare it like that. Kalphiter got a Bulldozer cpu and they are not real 8 core cpus. 8 integer-cores have to share 4 floatingpoint units. So it is more like a quadcore with doubled integer units. If you want to compare both cpus you should take the HT/SMT function of the I7 into account. 8 - core 2.4 Ghz AMD processor = 19.2 Ghz of processing. 8 - core 3.4 Ghz Intel processor = 27,2 Ghz of processing. And even now its stupid to compare the raw frequency of the cpus. Both got a completely different architecture. And Intel is known for its better CPI (Cycles per Instruction). |

"HT/SMT" = hyperthreading? oh forget that stuff, ht doesn't do jack stuff for my performance on my computer |
