[Question] CPU

[brutus]

Can i hold 350-500 players in my srv with this cpu : Intel Core i3-560 3.33 GHz
its double core with hyper threading.
can someone discuss it?

One time i run server with 400+ players on intel 2200 cpu. It was very bad
Better think about quadcore.

it was single or dual core?

dual

core speed is not so important for l2j as count of individual cores.

whats so important in the quad core processors? the threads?

example: instead of use expensive intel quad use AMD 2x quad (for same price?)

so you are trying to say that i may change my choose from Intel to AMD? will AMD perform better specs than Intel?

[JIV]

not at all, choose best price for core, dont look at cpu speed, look at how many cores it have.

Thats what i asked why to look at more cores? because of the thread counts?

and btw as i asked can i hold 350-500 players with dual core processor which includes hyper threading tehnology
cuz this will be placed in my home and later i will move on dedicated and i wont rly hold 350+ ppl .. max about 150-200 if it is possible

did you get my point? ;p

everything in l2j is calculated in threads : more cores => more active threads at same time => better performance.
Also mysql and system take some cpu time so it count too.

to answer you question, yes you can hold 350 with dualcore, i once used to have 250 players on single core, it was total pain in the ass but it worked.

but the dual core has hyper threading which actually creates 1 more thread per core so its like quad core ;p isnt?

[JIV]

im not expert on HT but it do not create additional core, it just simulate another core. Actually this can be good for some thing and bad for others, depends what part of core thread use (for example ALU or FPU), if they want use same, they block each other as in single core. better look at wiki or so, i can be wrong.

[brutus]

what do u think about "AMD Phenom II X4 965 3.40" is that good enogh?

[JIV]

quad > dual with HT
