Good day all,
Recently i had purchased an Asrock rack EPYC D8-2T as a replacement for my Ryzen 1700 platform to act as my unraid server.
My Unraid server is used in multiple ways, next to NAS, CCTV, VM's (passthrough and headless) and docker 'host', ill also be hosting dedicated game servers on it for me and friends. (think factorio, ARK, Conan Exiles, the likes).
So in essence its a multipurpose server.
Now in the past i've had issues with Factorio running slow, but that was when i was on the bulldozer platform still with a 4300 and DDR3.
And that raises the question.
Originally i had planned to combine this mainboard with a 7282, but it didn't work, wouldn't post or anything (i have another post for this somewhere). Since i RMA'd both the board and the CPU, both were found to be dead. the mainboard is replaced and the cpu is a different story i won't get into.
Now i'm looking into a 7401. It is a first gen, so won't have the IPC gain, higher clock speeds or PCI-E 4.0 (which the board doesn't support anyway) compared to the 7282, i will however have increased amount of cores.
Now the question:
How does a 7401 with 24/48 1st gen compare to a 7282 16/32 2nd gen in terms of performance in regards to headless game server hosting?
