What is the fastest processors for database applications?

[CKoze]

I use ACTIAN PSQL databases with Windows Server and design my own servers with Supermicro Superserver line of products.

I wanted to know for a set budget of about $400-$600, what is the best processor I should select to get the fastest performance.

Should I look for 2 less expensive vs one more expensive processor? One with a greater number of cores? Fast GHz speed?

How do I select the appropriate processor for a given budget?

Dear Wanner,

Thank you for your reply but I am still uncertain about the right processors to choose for my database application. For a given budget, I wish to know what I should spend my money on: threads, cache, clock speed or cores. I am building my servers with Supermicro plateform. For faster results, I use 2 X M.2 enterprise drives + 2 X SATA3 SSDs. The comparison is nice but still does not answer my question.

Thank you for your support.
