Processor Comparisons
Hello,
I have an opportunity to upgrade my windows server, not being a hardware man, i'm a little confused though.
Currently i have 2x 2.5GHz 12MB Intel® Xeon® Quad Core processors
the new server has 1x 3.5GHz Intel i5 Haswell processor
To my mind i suspect that my current server is more powerful as 2x 25 is more than 1x 3.5, but the current server is three years old and technology gets better.
Please can you explain to me what the difference is here, and which is the most powerful?
Thank you

OK, I have looked at the links and understand your dilemma, I must ask, why are you looking for an upgrade?

The current server is starting to lag, I'm not really a server person, just a developer, so don't know why...
And also - cost!

Thanks for your responses, below i have attached links to the servers, for the overall view-
the current server is -
http://web.archive.org/web/20120804153614/http://www.fasthosts.co.uk/dedicated-servers/windows-servers/ds1000xx-windows/
The new would ideally be
http://www.fasthosts.co.uk/dedicated-servers/linux-servers/950-linux/
I'd be running windows with SQL server on.
Appreciate your feedback.
Thank you
