venno Posted April 18, 2016 #1 Posted April 18, 2016 Hi All I have a HP G8 Microserver running expenology bare metal, I have upgraded the cpu to a xeon 1220l V2 and have 4GB ram fitted. If expenology is based on a 3615xs which is an i3 cpu, does having anything more powerful than that go to waste ? Or will expenology use (or find useful) the additional horsepower you run it on ? eg. additional cores, clock speed, hyper threading, die cache...etc... cheers
bglf83 Posted April 18, 2016 #2 Posted April 18, 2016 Xpenology can take advantage of up to 8 cores. The description in DSM is hard-coded, but you will get real performance of the CPU in use.
guldhammer Posted April 19, 2016 #3 Posted April 19, 2016 Xpenology can take advantage of up to 8 cores. Is it 8 cores per cpu, og 8 cores total??
bglf83 Posted April 19, 2016 #4 Posted April 19, 2016 8 logical processors regardless of physical cores or processors.
guldhammer Posted April 20, 2016 #5 Posted April 20, 2016 8 logical processors regardless of physical cores or processors. Does it mean 8 cores total or each Cpu??
bglf83 Posted April 21, 2016 #6 Posted April 21, 2016 No Xpenology can address 8 total cores weather physical or logical (hypertheading). Physical processors do not matter. Can do on processor with 8 cores or 2 with 4 cores.

Cheers bglf83 This validates my choice to have gone with a G8 as I plan to make good use of DSM 6 and its features/add ons when it becomes available.
