[cisco-voip] Processors on the UCS blades.

[Mike King]

We recently put our UC on a UCS system.

We bought specific blades for the UC system (B200 M2's), specifically TRC
#2. Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5640 @ 2.67GHz

The datacenter operators upgraded a different server, and now they have
extra Intel X5550 that they are offering me.

So two questions.
Would I still be supported (maybe under some other umbrella) if the
processors were switched out.
Is it even worthwhile?

Stats (The table is not going to break well in this email:)

 Model Speed (GHz) L3 Cache (MB) QPI speed (GT/s) DDR3 Clock (MHz) TDP (W)
Cores Threads Turbo-Boost  E5640 2.66 12 5.86 1066 80 4 8 Y  X5550 2.66 8
6.4 1333 95 4 8 Yes
Thoughts?

Mike
