Hello, I want to standardize my home servers and reduce them to 3 Proxmox computers. 2x a Tiny server and a slightly more powerful one for AI (ollama/open webui and deepseek-r1-70b, CPU based only, no GPU).

For the more powerful server, I am wavering between 2 processors: i9-10940X vs. i9-14900KS.

i9-10940X

• 14 Cores (3,30-4,8 GHz == 67,2 GHz)
• 28 Threads
• Quadro-Channel DDR4-2933 (PC4-23466, 93.9GB/​s)

i9-14900KS

• 24 Cores (8Power+16Economy - 2,40-6,2 GHz == 117,6GHz)
• 32 Threads
• Dual-Channel DDR5-5600 (PC5-44800, 89.6GB/​s)

I don’t like the Idea of the Power/Economy-Cores… And the newer i9 has only dual-channel for RAM instead of quad. But it has double of GHz.

Which is better for my solution? I also want a relative low idle power consumption.

thank you all!
