As a rule of dumb, and as far as the big lock is present -OpenBSD has
not the best performance-wise SMP solution out there-, if your dealing
with high I/O rates -all computing at kernel space-, a dual core system
isn't going to scale very well... So you will get similar performance on
both platforms.
If all your computing needs stay in user space, or money is not a
concern, or you are looking to help improving SMP for OBSD, then go for
the 330 :)
Douglas Maus escribis:
Does anyone have experience whether dual core actually
gets better OpenBSD SMP performance between the Intel
Atom 230 (single core) and Atom 330 (dual core)?
(such as between the Supermicro SYS-5015A-L and
Supermicro SYS-5015A-H)
Is the Atom 330 worth the extra bucks?
Thanks for any insight.
