Looking for experience with Xeon E7-8893 v4 on SQL 2016 Enterprise

  • Hello everyone,

    i am looking for someone having experiences with Xeon E7-8893 v4 on SQL Enterprise 2016. We are actual planing to reduce licensing by increasing the percore-performance and decrease the number of cores.

    Now im looking for possible serverconfigurations to evaluate. For sure we will order testconfigurations and run our own analyses but:

    Is there anyone who has experience with 2 x Xeon E7-8893 v4 vs a single Xeon E5-2667 v4? Or idealy 4 x E7-8893 v4 vs 2 x E5-2667 v4.

    Our caregiver are 4 analytical processes running parallel on Databases of 100-200GB highliy utilizing columnstores and some OLTP n the background.

    Just looking at the Ghz (and of corse pricing) 1 E5-2667 v4 should outperforme 2 E7-8893 v4. But the E7 has more than twice the memorybandwith and cache of the E5

    I know, this is a very general question! But as mentioned before we just startet evaluating!

    Thank you in advance,

    Andre

  • higher clock speed with less cores will help with licencing

  • Sure.

    My question is if

    how 2 Xeon E5-2667 v4 (3.6Ghz, 8Core each) perform vs 4 x E7-8893 v4 (3.5Ghz, 4 Core each but MUCH more Cache+Memorybandwith)
