Subject: [asterisk-users] More Cores or more CPU Speed

Hi Guys,

in next week i plan to upgrade my Asterisk Server. To buy the optimal 
Hardware i have a question.

What is better more cores (eg. 2x quadcore) or more CPU speed for a server 
that handle a lot of of Meetme Concerences with hundreds of concurrent G711 
alaw Channels (no transcoding) ?

in my opinion, more cores are better, because Asterisk ist multithreded and 
each channel has a good chance to distribute to the cores. 

is that right or what do you think?

Thanks for your answers.
Daniel

I would use a Single AMD 8 or 12 Core processor. They work great for us and 
you can't beat price for the complete package. It blows intel out of the 
water per core pricing. If you really want to go wiled you could use a Dual 
Processer 8 or 12 core system and then your in for a ride.  We have been 
having great luck with the Supermicro boards and the 6100 series AMD 
processors.
