[Freeswitch-users] CPU for FS boxes. High freq.? or more cores? or more cache?

[Joel Serrano]

Giving that the topic has come up... what if it was completely the
opposite? Say a node that only does conferences or every single call is
transcoded, would you go for high frequency in that case or would “more
cores” be a better option?
