Re: CPU for Dovecot

Hi,

thanks to all for advices. We will choose the 8core variant.

About IO notes... there will be local 10k SASes in RAID 10, similar configuration as we have now and works fine.

Kind regards, Miloslav

we are planning to change hardware for our standalone Dovecot instance handling ~5800 IMAP users with 1TB mailboxes on local RAID. Is there some recommendation about CPU?

We can choose from:

• Intel Xeon E5-2620v4 - 2,1GHz@8,0GT 20MB cache, 8core, HT, 85W, LGA2011
• Intel Xeon E5-2623v4 - 2,6GHz@8,0GT 10MB cache, 4core, HT, 85W, LGA2011

The difference is about more cores vs. hi frequency.
