Which one would be best for the VDI VMs ESXi host?
5115 has a higher base frequency at 2.4 GHz 2x 10C, but 6130 is lower at 2.1 GHz, but 2x 16C

Not asking for alternatives, I have both and need to decide which one of these two (only) should I keep?
Assume I care more for individual VDI performance rather than VM density on host.

unless you not disable turbo boost:
the all core turbo of the 5115 is 2,8 Ghz, the higher TDP of the 6130 allows 2,8Ghz too but at 6 more cores.
