  • Sounds nice, but yes, uses quite a bit of power.

    I should measure mine - I have a Ryzen 5900 (24t, 64MB … some 20k cinebench score) as the main, and a Core 12700 (16+4t, 12MB).
    (And Intel gen 7 and 2 at my patents. All of them proxmoxed.)

    Never ever managed to bottleneck anything on them, not really, but got them super cheap used.

    Buying anything server/enterprise that powerful would cost me a lot of moneys. And prob have two CPUs which doubles a lot of power hungry bits.


  • Isn’t that a bit like buying an old truck instead of a year old Miata?

    Afaik those CPUs use so much juice when idling … sure, you dont get all them lanes or ECC, but a PC at the same price with a few year old CPU outclasses that CPU by a lot & at a fraction of the running cost (also quietly).

    Just something to keep in mind as an alternative, especially when you don’t intend to fill all the pcie bussy (several users with several intensive tasks that benefit from wider bus to RAM & PCI even with a slow CPU).
    Ok, and you miss out on some fancy admin stuff, but … it’s just for home use …

    Yes, this is correct.

    You dont even have to be a math nerd to innately know this.

    Like, I’m about to go to work & dispense imaginary fucks all day (because math-lord knows I have to real fucks to give anymore).

    (The thing is they are both imaginary as well as irrational fucks, which complicates math a lot & I only work with fuck approximations)
