I was hoping that someone could tell me if this is the case, the sales person said that if I upgrade to the newer server, I'd get better performance.
This is what I currently have:
Dual Xeon l5639 Hex Core - 2 processors @ 12 cores
This is what they are suggesting I move to:
Intel Xeon E5-2609 - 1 processor @ 4 cores
Seems I am losing a lot of cores by this move. Is the performance of the 2609 so good that it'd be better than 12 cores, especially with running a handful of virtual machines?
I'm running windows virtual machines on this and they run well on the 12 core machine. I'm leery of moving.
Anyone have any input?
