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!
The 14th gen didn’t only have problems with Linux and I still don’t trust Intel when they say they “fixed” the CPUs disassembling themselves. Given the money involved I’d definitely advise against 13th and 14th gen Intel in any case, just not worth the potential headache down the road. Either go with older Intel or AMD.
