XG hardware recommendation compared to existing equipment

Jason Etten

I am currently running a micro server: Supermicro MBD-X11SBA-LN4F-O. This board has a Intel® Pentium® Processor N3700 which is 1.6Ghz with 4 cores and 4 threads.

I want to upgrade because I currently experience very slow response with the web console. The login is slow, the loading of the stats is slow and any thing I try to change or update is slow. I am unable to run the AV because it maxes out the CPU and the internet becomes really slow.

I am looking at the Supermicro MDB-A1SRi-2758F-O. This board has a Intel® Atom Processor C2758 which is 2.4Ghz with 8 cores and 8 threads.

I know that Sophos XG home can not utilize the 8 cores (only 4).

Will I gain enough processing power to solve my issues and be able to run the AV?

    Hi Jason.

    I'd not spend money on Processors I know I can not use. What about a  i3-10100 or i3-10300 (4 Cores, 8 threads) a cheap LGA 1200 mainboard (60€-80€) and 8 GByte RAM.

    The C2758 is a very old processor (Q32013). Compare the single thread performance and the performance of 4 cores and you will see a big difference. You should also have a look on the N3700 compared to the C2785.

    What do you see when you run top in the extended shell? Which processes are on the top?
