It's simple...  In the past a 4 way servers cost upward of $30,000 where as
2x2 cores servers cost approx $5,000 or so.  No more than what 2 ways cost
now.  Then there is licensing cost (SQL, Oracle, etc)

Hard to say..We are definitely in a financial crunch. I am not sure the extra money required for another physical processor will cause any grief. It's more along the lines of preparing justification statements and such. If am going to change architecture(go to dual core), I have to be able to justify why I have not bought 4cpu servers in the past (assuming I go two dualcore CPUs).

Please respond to thin@xxxxxxxxxxxx g







Is the question about price? Obviously dual core has a performance gain...

So....would you take a single dual core CPU over a dual CPU configuration?

With AMD the answer hands-down is dual-core. See HP for a benchmark paper that shows a dual core AMD out-producing a dual proc of the exact same specs in the same chassis - they were showing that at iForum last year. With Intel, the improvement in using dual-core over dual proc is much less - but it is an improvement.

It all has to do with memory and busses.

All,

If you were buying new server, would you go a dual CPU setup or a single
dual-core?  Why?  I am specing out our new server platform.  I've read all
sorts of benchmarks and such, but they all tend to pit a dual core vs a
single CPU.  Not quite a fair matchup.
