I know I personally feel better about having my server cores running full bore instead of trying to dynamically scale themselves. For my gameservers and database servers, I want full power all the time, power consumption can sit down and be quiet. Until chipmakers introduce processors with precognitive abilities, I would rather take the hit on the power bill than have performance or customer experience suffer.
This is why I am in IT and not financial. ~Eka -----Original Message----- From: hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [mailto:hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] On Behalf Of Marco Padovan Sent: Wednesday, September 01, 2010 1552 Cc: Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] newer xeon / i7 cpus: turbo mode enabled or disabled?
