Hello, I want to standardize my home servers and reduce them to 3 Proxmox computers. 2x a Tiny server and a slightly more powerful one for AI (ollama/open webui and deepseek-r1-70b, CPU based only, no GPU).
For the more powerful server, I am wavering between 2 processors: i9-10940X vs. i9-14900KS.
i9-10940X
- 14 Cores (3,30-4,8 GHz == 67,2 GHz)
- 28 Threads
- Quadro-Channel DDR4-2933 (PC4-23466, 93.9GB/s)
i9-14900KS
- 24 Cores (8Power+16Economy - 2,40-6,2 GHz == 117,6GHz)
- 32 Threads
- Dual-Channel DDR5-5600 (PC5-44800, 89.6GB/s)
I don’t like the Idea of the Power/Economy-Cores… And the newer i9 has only dual-channel for RAM instead of quad. But it has double of GHz.
Which is better for my solution? I also want a relative low idle power consumption.
thank you all!
In my experience, idle power consumption mainly depends on the mainboard used. The processors all(?) clock down to some more or less energy-efficient level. But the specific design of the mainboard and the components on it could double or half energy consumption.
