Anyone have any clue why an application (Tableau Desktop) would run alot faster on a Laptop with i7 chip than a server CPU (E5-2640)?
For example, the calculation process (CPU hungry than memory/disk) takes 1 minute on a i7 and 3 minutes on Xeon CPU.
If I run the application and 'Set Affinity' to just 1 CPU on the server it runs in 1.5 minutes instead of 3 minutes but doesnt beat the i7-3720QM CPU.
CPU details as follows :
Intel® Xeon® Processor E5-2640 (15M Cache, 2.50 GHz, 7.20 GT/s Intel® QPI)
Intel® Core™ i7-3720QM Processor (6M Cache, up to 3.60 GHz)

Anyone with any advice?
