Hi guys, i'm getting ready to switch out my old server for a new one and i would like some input.
The root os will most likely be Unraid for nas purposes and some linux/windows vms, these vms are not gonna do any heavy task duties only some databases, clouds etc.
X11SCH-F | Motherboards | Products | Super Micro Computer, Inc.
Intel® Xeon® E-2236 Processor (12M Cache, 3.40 GHz) Product Specifications
Along with 32gb udimm ecc memory
Will this handle unraid along with the VMs no problem?
This socket has a maximun of 8 cores which for future upgrading isn't too good.
How about AMD? Ryzen 5 gen 3 are about the same pricepoint but i haven't run AMD for 15 years but i've read good things. The AM4 socket also has higher core cpus going up to 12 cores for future upgrading along with the option for built in 10gbe and pcie4. unfortunetly it seems that Supermicro doesn't have any AM4 motherboards and i like Supermicro.
Then theres the 3647 /SP4 options but that is way beyond my current needs.
So , whats your thoughts? Are there other options?
