Hi all,
Old Server Configuration:
CPU --> 8-core -->Intel (R) Xeon (R) CPU E5410 @ 2.33 GHz

New Server Configuration:
CPU --> 4-core -->Intel (R) Xeon (R) CPU E5-2643 0 @ 3.30 GHz

out of these 2 processors, which is the best?

In the Old Server, under Computer Management window, it was shown as below:
Processors
|
Intel (R) Xeon (R) CPU E5410 @ 2.33 GHz
Intel (R) Xeon (R) CPU E5410 @ 2.33 GHz
Intel (R) Xeon (R) CPU E5410 @ 2.33 GHz
Intel (R) Xeon (R) CPU E5410 @ 2.33 GHz
Intel (R) Xeon (R) CPU E5410 @ 2.33 GHz
Intel (R) Xeon (R) CPU E5410 @ 2.33 GHz
Intel (R) Xeon (R) CPU E5410 @ 2.33 GHz
Intel (R) Xeon (R) CPU E5410 @ 2.33 GHz

Does it mean that , is it 8-core CPU?

Thanks you for the information.

THis means that Intel (R) Xeon (R) CPU E5410 @ 2.33 GHz is quad-core.

Suppose if it shows as below from the Computer Management, what does this mean?Processors

Intel (R) Xeon (R) CPU E5410 @ 2.33 GHz
Intel (R) Xeon (R) CPU E5410 @ 2.33 GHz
Intel (R) Xeon (R) CPU E5410 @ 2.33 GHz
Intel (R) Xeon (R) CPU E5410 @ 2.33 GHz
Intel (R) Xeon (R) CPU E5410 @ 2.33 GHz
Intel (R) Xeon (R) CPU E5410 @ 2.33 GHz
Intel (R) Xeon (R) CPU E5410 @ 2.33 GHz
Intel (R) Xeon (R) CPU E5410 @ 2.33 GHz

Its must be a render farm or something like that which has 8 processors with each processor having 4 cores.
i.e Total no of cores = 32
So you`re going to change this setup with a new setup containing 4 E5-2643s.
I doubt that you`d get an increase in performance because
1)_Frequency doesnt matter much in intel processors.
2)_Total no of cores would be reduced to 16.
3)_You would have the same performance[in multithreading] EVEN if each core of E5-2643`s core performs equal to two cores of E5410 And I SERIOUSLY DOUBT that.
So imo you may get even less performance by doing that.
Please note that im talking about performance in multithreading and multitasking.
Your single core performance would increase . And i think that render farms are used for multithreaded tasks.
Only worthy upgrade would be to 8 E5-2643s

Hope this helps

Hi,
Thanks for the detail info.

In the new server, by some processes CPU utilization is very high and some times reaching to 100%
CPU --> Intel (R) Xeon (R) CPU E5-2643 0 @ 3.30 GHz
Total no of cores = 16

But in the Old server, by the same processses CPU utilization is not reaching to 100%.
CPU -->Intel (R) Xeon (R) CPU E5410 @ 2.33 GHz
Total no of cores = 32

> Is this due to decrease of cores from Old PC to new PC?
> Is it due to queue waiting time .
> How to overcome with this 100% CPU utilization

Bro Did you switch it??
Yeah i guess its because the cores were reduced to their half.
As i told you Only worth upgrade would be to 8 E5-2643s.
If you still have the old E5410s then use them .
If you dont want to go back to old E5410s then go for 4 more E5-2643s.

Hope this helps
