What would be the benefits of using Nehalem 7400 series of procs with VMware ESX o/s with vsphere . Is that the best possible solution for running high I/O intensive apps like SQL-Exchange -Oracle APPS .

I asked a question on Twitter and interXeon suggested that I should post my question here http://twitter.com/IntelXeon http://twitter.com/IntelXeon

A few months ago I built a dual Xeon 2.5Gh (E5420), 12 GB Ram, Cross fire ATI on Asus Z7S-WS. I've also Water cooled the whole thing. Here are couple of pictures: http://www.deskography.org http://www.deskography.org a few weeks ago, I ordered a Dell XPS i7 3.4 OC'd to 3.7 with 6 GB ram, one Nvidia Video Card (Planning to upgrade)

I don't play with these Workstations, they are used only to do renderings. When I start a network rendering using 3DSMAX, I've noticed that my Dual Xeon is faster than my Intel i7. I dobn't have the actual minutes and seconds down yet, and I don't think RAM has anything to do with renderings, since 3DSMAX uses CPU.

Am I wrong to assume that actual dual CPU is faster than the multi-core CPU's?

rtdesign, the E5420 is a multi-core (quad-core) processor also ... so with 8 cores in the system and more memory (12 vs 6 GB Ram) so you've got 8 cores vs 4 so your CPU capacity and throughput is up with the dual Xeon - that is my guess.

Here is a single CPU WS scores for 3ds max ... http://www.intel.com/performance/workstation/xeon3000/dcc.htm?iid=perf_ws_body+3000_dcc

scores are 6.37 (1x Core2Quad) and 10.13 (1 x Xeon)

Here are dual core CPU WS scores for 3dsmax ... http://www.intel.com/performance/workstation/xeon5000/dcc.htm?iid=perf_ws_lhn+xeon5000_dcc

scores are 10.03 (2x xeon 5400) and 16.74 (2x xeon 5500)
