[asterisk-users] More Cores or more CPU Speed

[daniel at danielknoll.de]

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
