CPU Core Count vs Clock Speed: Which Matters More for Your Server?
Choosing a dedicated server often comes down to two confusing specs: core count and clock speed. It's tempting to assume higher numbers always mean better performance — but that's not how CPUs actually work.
In this guide, we cover:
Physical cores vs. logical threads
Why GHz alone doesn't determine speed
Single-threaded vs multi-threaded workloads
Amdahl's Law and diminishing returns from adding cores
CPU priorities for gaming, virtualization, video encoding, and databases
Why benchmarking your real workload beats comparing spec sheets

Me llamó la atención que menciones la Ley de Amdahl para explicar por qué sumar núcleos deja rendimientos decrecientes, eso es genial porque muchos lo subestiman. No es lo mismo comparar GHz a ciegas que medir el uso real de hilos en tu carga. La diferencia se nota cuando pruebas con tu propia carga de virtualización 🛠
