Hi Guys ,

I am making a box on which i will be installing Virtual Machines running Server 2008 , Sql Sevrer , Win 7 etc .So i am bit confused between Intel Core i5 3570K AND AMD FX 8350 , which should i go with . I will be installing tools like config manager and cloud managemnt toolson these virtual machines as well..
Please lemme know which one of these will serve my purpose and will not burn my pocket also .... :)
 
Well, as far as I know, VMs and some of the other tasks you want to do work better with more threads/cores, so the FX8350 (an 8-core CPU) would probably be better for you. If I'm wrong, hopefully someone will jump in and correct me.
 

The 8350 is currently the most powerful CPU is the FX series. If you want a better one, you'll have to wait (unless you want to get some Opetrons or something)
