[Freeswitch-users] AMD

[Abaci B]

I'm debating between a 4x AMD 6276 (64 cores total) and 4x Intel E7-8867L
(40 cores/80 threads), I wish I would be able to afford both and see which
one (AMD vs Intel) is better... so if I know that hyperthreading is
boosting performance I would probably stick to intel as in general it's
better and it's more cores.
