We are starting to look for a physical server for SQL Server for our ERP. We will be utilizing Enterprise Edition licenses.
There is a bit of a debate on what the ideal way to provision the physical servers with regards to CPU clock speed versus CPU core count.
For instance, is a Intel Gold 6254, 4 x 18 cores, 3.1 Ghz more preferential to a Platinum 8260, 4 x 24 cores, 2,4 Ghz?
Has anyone come across a white paper that further delves into this type of topic?
