A technician is ordering a new motherboard and processors for a company email server. When reviewing the vendor licensing agreement, the technician sees that there is a flat per-socket licensing fee.
Which of the following motherboard/processor combinations should the technician order to get the BEST performance while minimizing licensing fees?
The best combination to achieve high performance while minimizing licensing fees is a single-processor motherboard with eight hyperthreaded cores. This configuration utilizes hyperthreading technology to effectively double the logical cores available, enhancing performance for multithreaded tasks. Additionally, it avoids the extra licensing fees that would come with dual-processor setups. Overclocked cores, as in options C and D, may void warranties and reduce system reliability, which is undesirable for a server environment. Therefore, a single-processor with hyperthreaded cores offers the best balance between performance and licensing cost.
same question on different websites and each place gives different answers. this is brilliant!
well to save money, you will go with a single processor with multiple cores, however you don't need 10 overclocked cores for an email server, so in my opinion it B
I’m still thinking it’s D. It says 8 hyper threaded cores but not how many physical cores and the question centers around citations for the licenses and I would take 10 cores for the same price. Anyone else? I’m not sure I understand the Comptia logic.
Not D because overclocking voids any warranty and for sure will turn out disastrous if not handled properly
you are absolutely correct, The correct answer is B
im Betreiben von Komponenten außerhalb ihrer Spezifikationen erlischt in nahezu allen Fällen die Garantie des Herstellers. Auch kann die Lebenserwartung der übertakteten Bauteile mitunter signifikant sinken. Durch einen höheren Takt und vor allem die erhöhte Spannung wird die Elektromigration begünstigt, was z. B. als Sudden Northwood Death Syndrome bekannt wurde. Die Verlustleistung steigt linear mit dem Takt und quadratisch mit der Spannung. Eine weitere Gefahrenquelle ist die entstehende Hitze beim Übertakten. Während bei älteren CPU-Modellen zu hohes Übertakten bzw. zu wenig Kühlung oder Kühlungsausfälle zu Überhitzungsschäden führte, gibt es heute eine Technik namens Throttling („drosseln“), die verhindert, dass der Prozessor zu heiß wird, indem sie Takte einfach auslässt. Dies kann jedoch dazu führen deshalb sage ich auch B
an overclocked cpu is not something you want for a server who prioritize stability, also is obviously not a wise choice cause in the long run will die before then a regular one
After a bit of research, the correct answer is D. A single-processor motherboard with ten overclocked cores.
the answer is D this option provides a high number of cores for performance while only incurring the flat per socket licensing fee for one processor rather than multiple processors
Correct Answer is D
Why is the answer not A? 2 cores with 6 hyperthreaded cores (2 cores each) = 24 cores 8 hyperthreaded cores gives you 16 cores... So surely A is correct?
2 cores is more expensive, you should minimize the costs, so i think its B
8 hyper threaded cores = 16 cores so it's B.
correct Answer is D:A single-processor motherboard with ten overclocked cores
