oooo, sounds like i might wanna finally upgrade my R5 5600x....along with everything else to go with ddr5

[–] CanadianCorhen@lemmy.ca 9 points 9 months ago (1 children)

feels like i just got my 5600x, and yet the new CPUs absolutly run laps around it.

Is it just me, or after a period of stagnation, have CPU performance started really climbing again

This happens every time AMD starts cutting into Intel's market share. Competition is a wonderful thing.

I'm hoping we'll see some good energy efficient server kit as well. My current VM rig runs dual 16 core CPUs but they're older and a bit pokey. It'd be nice to have something to move up to that isn't going to screw up my energy bills

Depending on how much time your server spends with those CPUs actually under load, newer processors may not really help your energy bills. Even old processors idle at single digits wattages. Most of the idle power consumption (where most home servers spend 99% of their time) on the server will be coming from fans, RAM, and storage.

Yeah they're not always maxed, but I've got a lot of stuff running on those cores, I've just found that they lag a bit for some heavier workloads as the CPU's have a lot of cores but not a huge top speed.

The main concern would be increasing power output without increasing my power bill
