We run an ecommerce platform with many sites and lots of crons continually running etc...

  • Resources (images, js) are primarily delivered via CDN.
  • Our server runs CPU intensive apps such as CXS Watch for WHM, clamd, R1Soft etc.

We're upgrading our server and we're deciding between:

  • E3-1240v6 / 32GB ram
  • E5-2620v4 / 64GB ram

My question, is this: what will give us the best result in terms of overall server performance and user experience? SSD will be used which is a huge gain.

** we plan on launching a SAAS product in the next 12 months, and so want to cater for that too.

I will value your input, thank you.

My opinion is you would be better running more CPU cores. As you are running a lot of processes and your customers must be served in parallel, impacting each other less as possible, more cores is better over higher speed processors.
