AMD’s fastest consumer CPUs are a great value for small servers. If you’re doing just one task (like in this article) the clock speed is a huge benefit.
The larger server grade parts start to shine when the server is doing a lot of different things. The extra memory bandwidth helps keep the CPU fed and the higher core count reduces the need for context switching because your workloads aren’t competing as much.
The best part about the AMD consumer CPUs is that you can even use ECC RAM if you get the right motherboard.
