Server Specs
I'm looking to upgrade my server specs.
Is there any significant advantage in having more than 4 cpu threads in a server?
I'm running a Paper server. As I understand, Paper is primarily single-threaded. So I'd want to prioritize having a CPU with strong single thread performance. I'm thinking 5600x/5800x/5950x/7700x or Intel equivalent.
Also, is there any point to having more than 16 GB of RAM? I've read that there's limitations to how much RAM a Paper server can effectively use, too. So some extra overhead for the OS, other processes running... so that the Minecraft server can have ~12 GB of dedicated memory?
So when I see these VPS/dedicated server options offering 8+ threads, 32+ GB of memory, is it for the use case of running multiple servers/apps? Because it seems very overkill and redundant for just one server.
