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?

If no transcoding or resampling will be performed there is no need for high freq. More cores definitely will help with more sessions (a lot of threads, less costly context switches).

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
