      Hi all

      Sorry, didn't know how to phrase it any better. I don't really understand how/if Cloudron is utilizing Multi-CPU-Cores. So I am wondering if - generally speaking - a server running multiple cores but on a lower frequency is better than a CPU with less cores but a higher frequency. What is more important - number of cores or frequency per core, even if less cores?

      Sorry for any confusion - not a native english speaker.

      Thanks a lot

        Hi,

        In general, the number of cores and clock speed are both important factors to consider when evaluating the performance of a CPU.

        A higher number of cores can improve multithreaded performance, as more tasks can be handled simultaneously. This can be particularly beneficial for server workloads that require parallel processing, such as hosting multiple websites and managing databases.

        On the other hand, a higher clock speed on a CPU can be beneficial for tasks that require single-threaded performance, such as gaming or running single-threaded applications.

        When comparing two CPUs, it's important to consider the specific workload or applications that will be running on the server. If the server workload includes tasks that can be parallelized effectively, then a CPU with more cores may provide better performance. However, if the workload is more focused on single-threaded performance, then a CPU with a higher clock speed may be more appropriate.

        Regarding Cloudron, it is designed to be multi-threaded and should utilize multiple cores if available, but the specific degree of performance improvement with higher number of cores and lower frequency may vary depending on the specific workload of your Cloudron server.
