[Asterisk-Users] How much CPU power needed for asterisk

[Dey, Spondon, ALABS]

All,
Of course this also depends on the size of the site.....
For a large site I would certanly feel more comfortable (and its not
that expensive)
To use a dual Xeon (64bit proc.-3 Ghz) server platform .........But just
as a general rule Linux and asterisk do not demand much CPU utilization
but I would take a risk for a large site with a great deal of
traffic.....cheers!!
Thanks!!
Spondon

To my knowledge and experience you don't need much CPU power.
I don't have Digium card only Sipura-3000 units and when I compile
something on Gentoo (CPU usage goes up to 99% and stays there when
compiling), when calls comes in on PSTN line and/or I make a call out
over IP at the same time, nobody notices any difference in call quality,
echo or any other problems; so I don't think you have to worry about CPU
power for Asterisk.

You will more likely run out of IRQ assignment for your internal cards
than CPU power :-)
