The difference between 4-core and 6-core processors is minimal in most practical scenarios. My preference for DDR3 comes mainly from memory cost considerations. Running multiple game server instances to form a cluster for different maps would be efficient, as each instance typically uses around 12.5 GB of RAM even without active users.
every cpu should have its own ram, preferably in sets of three ddr3 sticks... since it runs at low speeds (2.4ghz), this setup isn't perfect for game servers. a dual socket isn't great unless you're handling several servers and set each one to stay on its own processor... if a server needs threads across both cpus, data movement will slow things down because the CPU sockets would have to swap information. overall performance is mediocre—each ppu averages about 3500 points. my old fx-8320 hits 5500, while a single fx-6300 scores 4200. it's not worth it because of high power usage.
Comparing cores across generations isn't straightforward. Latest models handle more tasks per core. DDR3 varies between devices. The R710 and R330 support different RAM types. What total memory capacity are you aiming for? Are you focused on energy efficiency?
