I have a programmer friend who is running Windows 7 with a Linux VM on a Core i7 4790. He was telling me that he can't run more then one VM at a time because he runs out of cores/threads during compiling. He was thinking of ways to get more cores to do more things/speed up compiling. What are the downsides of using a Xeon D as a desktop computer. How would it do with compiling?
Lets say I can get a D-1540 (8 cores/16 threads) system for ~$1100 ,is there something else such as a E3 or E5 that would work better for the same price range?
Would the daily usage such as office and web browsing really have a slow down, I feel like a single broadwell core is more then fast enough for daily use.
Any help would be great thanks
