We are hosting file processing SAAS on Intel Xeon E5-2690 v3 @ 2.60GHz
and recently the Intel Xeon Gold 5218 @ 2.30GHz (Cascade Lake/Gold)
is introduced in our data center. While comparing them at https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/Intel-Xeon-E5-2690-v3-vs-Intel-Xeon-Gold-5218/2364vs3536 the Intel Xeon Gold 5218 seems faster and it cost cheaper in our data center. Also has more cores 12 vs 16
.
I am not an expert in hardware, maybe someone could explain why bigger and faster cost less? What is the difference between E5
and Gold
Intel CPU versions?
