Any pros/cons between AMD vs Intel processors with Splunk?

[Ellen]

We are in the process of selecting hardware for Splunk and wanted to know if there are any benefits etc. between AMD and Intel processors.

As per Engineering:

There should be no significant difference between AMD and Intel.

As per Splunk docs, it use core.

but we also have: Splunk_and_VMware_VMs_Tech_Brief.pdf

What do you think?

[rajeev_ku]

Did not find recommendation to consider thread instead of core in attached doc, it's recommended to use core in calculation.

[deodion]

Yes i need this answer also, does it use core or thread?

[responsys_cm]

If an Intel machine has 16 cores with hyperthreading enabled, will Splunk be limited to 1 search per core or one search per thread?

Thx.
