Would like to build a minecraft mod server at my home
the server will probably have more than 50 mods
Now I wonder what CPU I need
a xeon eg Intel Xeon E-2136
or a desktop CPU eg Intel Core i5-9600K
If the server consumes about 150 watts, you will be at 3.6 Kwh per 24 hours. That would be 108 Kwh a month, about 40 Euro every month in electricity costs. For 40 euro you could get a root server rental with 6 cores and 24 Gb of memory. Such own servers are worthwhile only if the hardware is very expensive and one would therefore save in the long run, as it monthly to host.
Xeons are great for server operations, they are not so expensive, keep working, and support features that you can use in server operation.
However, pay attention to the cost of electricity, but otherwise you think I'm doing well with a Xeon, especially because of the 12 threads
C.a 200 watts of solar energy
That's why I thought about solar energy.
Xeon, because it is energy efficient and needs an internal graphics unit…
