So writing this I already have a decent idea about the answer.

Celeron 1007U 17w TDP Ivy Bridge generation: 2 cores 2 threads 1.5GHz
Rangeley C2758 20w TDP: 8 cores 8 threads 2.4GHz

Here is the Intel ARK spec comparison.

Which do you think is faster and why? I have to say, they are running side-by-side (in two putty windows) and I was surprised.

I think the fact that Patrick is 'surprised' suggests that the obvious answer is wrong, but I'm voting the clock speed carries the day and Rangerly wins.

I'm also highly interested in the answer as I'm about to look at moving some parts of my network to a lower-power 'always on' subset.

I voted for Celeron 1007U .
I used it as my ESXi 5.5 host, I used it to build my Windows OS template VM, hosts 3 Windows VM running currently, and the little guy didn't even sweat.

Ivy Bridge has fewer cores but I thought it handles threads better right? Debated in my head whether the clock speed would make up for the much simplified core.

Don't let us sweat this much :)

I voted for: Celeron 1007U in Single Threaded and Rangeley C2758 Multi Threaded
Agree. Been too long waiting!

BTW, Celeron single threaded, Rangerley multi-threaded is the obvious answer...the fact that Patrick was "surprised" makes this unlikely.

Ofcourse, otherwise he wouldn't have started this thread with a poll I guess :-D

But, a Celeron 1007U gets kicked in the butt by a i3-3220. And the C2750 was quite competitive versus the i3-3220 according to Patricks C2750 benchmark thread: http://forums.servethehome.com/proc...-c2750-benchmarks-supermicro-a1sai-2750f.html

Yikes you guys are rough. The benchmark suite takes a long time to run each iteration! Almost done but here is what it is looking like.

hardinfo

Celeron 1007U Wins Fibonacci and FPU FFT
C2758 wins Blowfish, Cryptohash, N-Queens

c-ray 1.1
C2758 wins both renders

UnixBench Single Threaded
Celeron 1007U wins by a small margin

UnixBench Multi Threaded
C2758 wins by a factor of around 2.5x

pts benchmarks
Stream Triad was about even
C2758 wins 7-zip by about 3x and pybench by about 1.5x
Celeron 1007U wins OpenSSL by about 2x

Crafty (single threaded)
Celeron 1007U wins by about 1/3rd

So the interesting result is that the Celeron my be faster in most single threaded loads by a small amount. In multi-threaded loads the C2758 wins. The surprising bit was that the variance was so wide. Final numbers once the last sets finish.

Sorry, just very curious ;)

So the "Celeron 1007U in Single Threaded and Rangeley C2758 Multi Threaded" statement is the most correct one.

Tomorrow I have my hands on my C2750. Thought it would be today, but the postoffice worked against me.
