Ryzen 3 as a hypervisor machine

[jtz79]

Hi folks,

considering upgrading my current proxmox setup from a old i7-3770 to something with more cores. AMD seems to be coming into this market with some quite outrageous specs (like the ryzen 7 2700 E with 45W TDP and 8 cores).

Does anyone here use proxmox on such a platform? (ryzen 7 / x470 or x570)? HOw does it fare in such environment?
I run multiple VM's, mostly linux but windows server / desktop too. Jellyfin, Zoneminder, PiHole, unifi controller, etc etc..

cheers!

Ha, didn't know that, as my sig confirms, I've been faithful to intel for a long time... but AMD's offering is becoming hard to ignore.

Interesting feedback all. Looks like I'm gonna have to give AMD a try for the next vm host build!

thanks on the asrock tips, didn't really think of them, integrated gpu helps

quite some time has passed, still running on intel but on a Gigabyte server board on C246 (C246M-WU4, I think), great board.
