Hey all, just sending this message into the wide HLDS abyss to see if anyone has any experiences hosting srcds (Mostly TF2, but it can really be any game/mod that runs on that engine version) on single/dual E5-2650 v2s or other similarly low clocked (around the 2.5GHz range) processors and what kind of capacity they're getting (how many instances, slots, etc).
Currently we've been hosting on a E3-1270 v2, and the high single core clock speeds have been more than enough to host 11 tf2 instances in the 28 player slot range, but we're now planning on moving hosts and looking to expand to a box with dual 2650 v2s. My concern is that while the 2650 may have more cores, the lower clock speeds could translate into a struggle to meet the 15ms frame time that 66 tick servers require. Anyone happen to be running on 2650s or similar and can share their thoughts?
