  • Pro tip: Enterprise and Consumer grade doesn’t exist in hardware. It’s all made from the same silicone at the same plants. The only real difference in the server world is server CPUs have more cores but less speed with more PCIe lanes. More cores with less speed is actually worse for homelab use because you will never need more than 8-16 cores at most applications aren’t threaded beyond 4. So it’s better to have faster cores. The extra PCIe lanes of a 6-8 year server cpu are mute when comparing PCIE3.0 to PCIE 4-5.
