Which is more suitable for a game server?  Xeon or i7?

Xeon or Core i7 processors: Which is the right answer for gaming servers? Well! the first thing to keep in mind is the specifications needed to assemble a genuine game server. As the game server requires a fast processor, frequency, and reliability, we will try to keep all these attributes in consideration. Also, most games at most utilize 4 to 5 cores. Hence, multi-core processors such as ten or twelve cores are not required for game servers. You can rather select the processors with more clock speed for faster processing. 


Overclocking

Overclocking is a feature which enables the user to run at higher clock speeds than recommended. This feature is available in Core i5 or i7 processors but not in Xeon processors. However, the voltage and the bios setting of the processor have to be set accordingly or it could lead to damage. With the help of overclocking, you can attain more processor speed and hence increase your productivity.

 

On-board Graphics

The Core i7 processors come with on-board graphics. It implies that you don't have to buy a separate video card for graphics. Xeon processors do not support on-board graphics and you would have to buy a graphics card. Although, a thing to be noted here is that the on-board graphics is not supported by some games. In that case, a graphics card needs to be installed in addition to the on-board graphics in the i7 processors.

 

Cost per Gigabit  

The cost versus Gigabit battle definitely sways in the favour of the i7 processors. For instance, a quad-core 3.60 GHz i7-7700 processor costs quite less than the 3.60 GHz Xeon processor like the E3-1270 v5. If GHz is your preference, then you should definitely go with i7 processors. 


The choice between Xeon or Core i series for game servers also depends on the game you wish to host. Also, if you wish to host multiple games on that server. The number of cores that is required for that game to function among other details.

We, at Psychz, provide advanced features solely for gaming servers. Some of them include low latency routes and free 2 Gbps DDoS protection. You can also avail GGA (Global Game Accelerator) to further enhance the performance.
