Processor comparison for gaming servers

Find the perfect processor for your gaming project. Our detailed analysis shows why single-core performance is crucial for most games and how AMD Ryzen is revolutionizing gaming.

Server migration between processors

Xeon → Ryzen / EPYC migration

Upgrade from Intel Xeon to AMD Ryzen or AMD EPYC (e.g. EPYC 7763) with 1:1 migration without data loss. Migrations are performed by our team.

Ryzen ↔ EPYC / Xeon migration

Migrations between AMD Ryzen, AMD EPYC (e.g. EPYC 7763) and Intel Xeon are possible and are usually carried out 1:1 without data loss.

Request migration: Contact our support team via Discord or WhatsApp. Migrations between Xeon, Ryzen and EPYC (e.g. EPYC 7763) are possible and carried out by our expert team (fees may apply).

Single-core is king

Most games primarily use one CPU core. Higher single-core performance = better FPS.

AMD for gaming

AMD Ryzen processors are optimized for gaming and deliver superior performance.

Intel for stability

Why single-core performance is crucial for gaming

Why single-core matters:

  • Game engine limitation: Most games primarily use one CPU core for main logic
  • FPS stability: Higher single-core performance = more stable framerate
  • Latency reduction: Faster response times in competitive games

AMD Ryzen advantages:

  • 3D V-Cache: Additional cache for better gaming performance
  • Zen 4 architecture: Latest CPU architecture optimized for gaming
  • High clock speeds: Up to 5.7 GHz for maximum single-core performance
