Well I was thinking i7 but then it hit me. Running Hyper-v the float limitations should not have much impact because of the GP nature of hosted VMs. So my thinking is that an FX should do much better in hosting 4-6 clients than an i7.
So opinions on this? Am I alone in looking at these aspects of CPU usage? My thinking is that the FX was a server design moved to the desktop anyway.
Do here is the thing:
I can use 1155 or 1156 processors and I have an 1155 board just sitting in the shop with no CPU but I am really looking at the FX as a potential Hyper-V tool. I have no FX board or CPU and I am going private cloud in the home.
Opinions? It is cheaper for me to go 2600 non K than anything else and then 870. For the FX 8120 I am looking at about the same price for board and CPU.
Which way should I go?
Please no fan boy crap because I am not one. I would like to hear from people with VM Hyper-V style if possible and if not just some general VM stuff will be fine.
I don't care which gets better benches because VMs are completely different monsters and really do not do anything more than light GP work though I have seen the potential using a private cloud setup.
EDIT: SCVMM 2012 RC info welcome as it pertains to the FX.
