CPU Difference
August 8, 2005 Posted by KP
Different CPUs seem to make big difference in terms of performance.
My two FreeBSD servers have the same configurations (FreeBSD 5.3/Apache 1.33/PHP 4/MySQL 4) and the same memory (1GB ram). Server 1 uses AMD Athlon XP2400; Server 2 uses Intel Pentium 4 2.8GHz. When executing a PHP script with a few MySQL operations, despite of more visitors and bigger database, server 2 is still significantly faster than server 1.
