Which CPU would you choose?

[BrianToussaint]

If you were specifying a new server for Windchill, which of the following CPUs would you go with? You could get two of either one.

3.6 Ghz quad core
3.46 Ghz hex core

Thank you,

Depends on the load the more memory you can give to the method servers the
better so (as with all servers bigger is better for mem and cpu imho)
big mem + fast CPU = cool
Big mem + not so fast CPU = ok
small mem + fast CPU = < ok
small mem + not so fast CPU = slow

The other thing to watch out for is, if you are using Oracle, the
licensing on the server, minefield, think its still based on cores rather
then processors, just worth a check bud
