I'm in the lucky situation, getting a new Server for our application.
the database is ~200 GByte
the operating system is Windows Server
On the same box are the webspeed Transaction Servers
I would like to connect the agents with shared memeory
my question:
is it better to have 2 CPU with each 4 Core ore one CPU with 8 Core
(I think there are problems with NUMA-Architecture in this configuration - cache-PingPong?)
Or 1 CPU with 8 Cores?
If one CPU is better:
More Cores and slower speed or less Cores but faster?
Thanks
