Hi
I am looking into replacing my aging Xeon E3 server that runs Hyper-V Server with various VM's (pfSense, Plex etc.). At the same time I want to "eliminate" my i7 desktop and use the new server for both, running Windows Server 2016.
I was originally looking into a Ryzen 1800X or Threadripper 1950X, but then I got to thinking about EPYC 7351P. It is basically the same price as a 1950X, but outperforms it in mining, which I will use to pay for some of the investment. My question is, how will the 7351P perform as a desktop, even with some occasional gaming on a GTX 1080?
I know the server/desktop setup is not best pratice, but I am not running critical VM's on it.
