Benchmarks: CPU III
Remember how we mentioned that there are a number of applications where frequency can matter more, particularly from the overall TCO and per-core licensing viewpoint.
Redis is an open source (BSD licensed), in-memory data structure store, used as a database, cache and message broker. It's a reasonable proxy of the performance to be expected in other databases.
Here, looking at four subset benchmarks highlights that frequency does matter, more than cores, in fact, as the 7F52 pair rule the roost.
