New Ryzen server chips, are we finally there?
Before you chase core counts, did you test your restore? I've seen too many shiny Ryzen builds lose data. Remember 3-2-1: three copies, two media types, one offsite. For budget servers, consider:
- Used Intel with known power draw
- New Ryzen with warranty
- Backup destination before anything else
3-2-1 or you're already dead
KIDDO LISTEN UP. THE NEW RYZEN CHIPS ARE SHITF+CTRL LEVEL GOOD. I TYPED SHITF AND IM LEAVING IT. USED XEONS ARE CHEAP BUT KIDDO THEY SUCK JUICE LIKE MY EX WIFE. NEW RYZEN WINS ON CORE PER WATT PER DOLLAR. END OF STORY!

- EPYC 4004 series: 8C/16T at 65W TDP, MSRP $329.
- Comparable used Intel: E5-2680v4, 14C/28T at 120W TDP, market price $45-$65.
- Break-even analysis: Ryzen wins below 18 months at $0.15/kWh; Intel wins if power is subsidized or free.
- Specific threshold: 6 cores per $100 monthly total cost of ownership.
Recommendation: Measure your actual workload. Cinebench R23 scores are irrelevant for nginx and Postfix.
It's always DNS. Always.
