What is the server CPU?

  the server CPU is the CPU used for the server. The CPU is short for  "Center Process Unit" and translated as a central processor. Generally, the server CPU is also called a server processor, which is part of interpretation and execution instructions, processing data and execution tasks (such as service web pages, running database queries, and executing other programs and calculation commands).

  The more processors in the server, the higher the speed and efficiency of the server work, and the more instructions that can be executed in a shorter time. Therefore, many server manufacturers compare the CPU to the "brain" of the server, and are the primary indicators of server performance.

  At present, most modern servers provide multi -core and multi -threaded processors, and one of the processors may be able to execute more instructions at the same time. Essence Multi -core means that a server actually has multiple processors core to complete the task required by the user. However, the 4-core processor is not necessarily 4 times faster than a single -core processor. The multi -threaded threads can further improve performance by allowing multiple code threads or processes to perform simultaneously.

  For the processor, in addition to the core and threads, there is another important specification, which is the cache memory that reduces the time required to reduce the data access data from the server main memory. High-speed cache allows processors to store and access data that are often needed faster. The higher the high -speed cache memory, the more types of data that can be saved in high-speed cache, thereby speeding up the performance of the processor.

  It is important to note that server performance is much more important than the server CPU itself when the user selects a server, because the user needs to be confident that the server has been carefully designed to get maximum performance from every element of the hardware. Furthermore, all hardware elements in a server are interdependent, and if business workloads require higher levels of RAM, SSD improvements in disk performance, or RAID redundancy, then using the most powerful processor may not be the best solution technology.

  All in all, although the server CPU index is very important, choosing the server depends entirely on how the user intends to use the server.
