The Softlayer server is a Xeon, the Hetzner is a desktop grade processor.
Key differences for me
* Cache
* QPI (especially in a 2P config that makes a difference)
* Max TDP ... that's a HUGE one.
* ECC memory. See http://perspectives.mvdirona.com/2012/02/26/ObservationsOnErrorsCorrectionsTrustOfDependentSystems.aspx http://perspectives.mvdirona.com/2012/02/26/ObservationsOnEr... for why this is important
So, you're not comparing apples to apples
- StavrosK 15y agoAh, yes, sorry, it's an i7, not a Xeon. Still, you could get around 40 of these machines for one of those, so I'd take these.
- tuomasb 15y agoHetzner's Xeon offerings with ECC aren't that expensive either: http://www.hetzner.de/hosting/produkte_rootserver/ex6 http://www.hetzner.de/hosting/produkte_rootserver/ex6 I would expect Softlayer to be more reliable than Hetzner as a service provider but that being said, the price difference is still huge.
