Re: CPU for Dovecot

Xeon E5-2620v4 - 2,1GHz@8,0GT 20MB cache, 8core, HT, 85W, LGA2011

passmark: 16825 cost: 417$

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

passmark: 8302 cost: 444$

I would get the first one.

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.

Thank you, Miloslav
