Hmm, that's slightly outdated. If you're building a new server for the next 5 years, why not use the latest hardware (v4 Xeons)? | ||

We don't have much option here, generally dedicated server providers don't offer the latest hardware until it's already several years old due to compatibility and price. In any case, the performance difference between them for single thread workloads (mostly what we have) actually favors the v3 (http://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare.php?cmp[]=2364&cmp[]=2780). | ||

At the same price level a 14-core 2690 v4 should definitely be a better choice than a 12-core 2690 v3. v4 Xeons are marginally faster than v3 at the same clock speed, consume less and have more cores at the same price level. v4 also support higher-clocked memory (2400 MHz vs 2133 MHz). But of course the differences are marginal compared with the giant leap from the current server. Good luck with the migration! | ||

Good job and thanks for continuously improving the sites/servers. you'd better be ready for that, when all the newcomers (or returners) come hitting the TL strategy forums and BW Liquipedia | ||
