If I have to compromise, in your case I'd go with more cores. -giovanni On 24 January 2018 at 14:15, Adam Raszynski <netcentrica@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi
I plan to buy some new servers to use as FreeSWITCH boxes
Servers mainly bridge calls and proxy media from A to B. No special features, but they got a lot of traffic and customers require high quality of calls.
What is the best practice in choosing CPU for FS boxes?
I see different options:
- high frequency (4GHz+) desktop CPU's like Intel i7 series
- medium frequency Xeons/Opterons, but with large cache
- low frequency Xeons/Opterons but with many cores
Unfortunately I can't find reasonably priced CPU's that will have both high freq., many cores and large cache so need to pick what's the best
What is most important performance-wise for low latency, high quality media bridging? More single core frequency? More cache? More cores?
Kind Regards
