It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything new. This is partly because blade server news has practically diminished; or I’m just getting really bad at finding “blog-worthy” content. Either way, in this post, I thought it would be helpful to take to post a comparison of CPUs by blade server vendor.
While I’m quite aware there are many blade server vendors in the market, I’ve chosen to maintain my focus on the top 3 blade server vendors, so the list below is based upon the list of CPUs that each server vendor posts on their respective websites. Please note, in certain cases there may be options to add Intel Xeon CPUs that are not listed in the matrix below via a custom process; check with your server vendors if something is not listed.
