Got new hardware for my minecraft server!

Intel I7-8068K 6 Cores 12 Threads 5.1GHz
64GB DDR4 RAM 2666MHz
2x 512GB NVMe (RAID 1)

First time I have ever used a 5GHz CPU I am so excited!

That's cool, but why tho? 🤣 A
I hope you're at least using Spigot, otherwise you won't be using most of that raw power

@FrodoSwaggins well it that new CPU really does help the server is running a lot smoother, we had a Xeon E3 before that and I'd say Xeon in general is not good for minecraft servers since they don't have so many GHz. People still think it is multithreaded and they need a hell lot of cores and then they wonder why their server is slower than before... that's why I wanted a 5GHz CPU.

@endor it's a fairly big server, using BungeeCord and 5 TacoSpigot servers. We are the biggest in this part of minecraft in Germany, that's why we need such power.

@FrodoSwaggins well, I had multiple CPUs in that server in the past and every Xeon CPU was laggy. For I7 that is a higher clock speed means a less laggy server. That's what I've experienced in the past and it worked out pretty well.
I don't have a deep understanding of what exactly the clock speed means and whether it is a single cores speed or not.
And today I saw again, the server is running better than ever before, and this is the highest clock rate we have had so far.
Either way, I guess I'll take a look into clock speeds and such stuff because it seems interesting

A heavily modded Forge server needs maximum 5~6g ram.^^

I would wait for AMD Zen2

@EaZyCode Server Name ? Hope not griefergames :D

@noogli nah griefergames is like 99% downloaded

@FrodoSwaggins I'm not so sure they're single threaded. I think I've seen it spin up 4 processes or something like that.

Other than that, yes you don't need that level of hardware. I used to run mine on a raspberry pi before I got a server

@FrodoSwaggins I'm going to have to check that. Im sure I saw it spawning more than one Java process 😀
It even seemed to switch which one is "active" or something so the CPU load would jump from core to core

@Froot it has the Server main thread and yes, it does have some other threads but they don't really do work. It's true it jumps between the cores all the time.

@FrodoSwaggins oh i didn't know that, that's quite interesting

@FrodoSwaggins Ah right. Oh well
