E5-2620 v2 vs i7-6700k
Hi everybody! I want to move my selfhosted services from a VPS to a PC in my house. I have an E5-2620 and a it-6700K, which one would you pick and why? The E5 already has 2 PCI-X each with 4 NIC (that I need to use with OpnSense to share my Internet connection with my neighbor) that I would need to throw away and buy as PCIe for the i7. Thanks!
So what was the question? It sounds like you already decided.
The biggest difference between these 2 chips is how they scale. The i7-6700k is faster but it has less cores. The E5-2620 has more cores but the clock speed and memory are much slower.

Why? No, I haven’t decided.
The i7-6700k is faster but it has less cores. The E5-2620 has more cores but the clock speed and memory are much slower.
So for a lot of containers that each do few things, it would be better to have more cores, correct?
Really depends on the specific workload.
Another thing to keep in mind is that the 6700k is significantly more power efficient, especially when it isn’t consistently under high load.
Also if you do any sort of media processing the 6700k has a gpu and quicksync built in that can speed these things up significantly.

This is a good point that probably will make the decision lean towards the i7, thanks!
