Virtualization speed king: intel xeon westmere 5620 vs AMD Magnycour 6134
- by maruti
two similarly sized 2P systems from HP: 48GB ram, 300gb 15k SAS
ESX 4.0 is s/w
but choice of AMD 6134 gives 16 cores vs Intel 5620's 8 cores. Both almost at same CPU Clock 2.4 GHz
for VM workloads of medium size which is best bang for buck/perf?
workloads : mostly Windows VM guests
thx in adv
