Understanding Server and Desktop PC Differences

What are the three main reasons servers have different configurations compared to desktop PCs?

• Power efficiency, reliability, and scalability

• Cost, size, and color

• Speed, design, and brand

• User interface, software, and hardware

Why do server CPUs typically have more cores than gaming CPUs?

• To increase the physical size of the server

• To handle a large number of simultaneous requests efficiently

• To reduce the cost of the server

• To improve the visual appearance of the server

What is the primary benefit of using lower clock speeds in server CPUs?

• Increased heat output

• Higher power consumption

• Faster processing speeds

• Reduced cooling costs

What technology allows a single server to be divided into multiple virtual servers?

• Data mining

• Overclocking

• Virtualization

• Cloud computing

Why is ECC important in server memory?

• It allows for more storage capacity

• It increases the speed of the server

• It helps correct data errors on the fly

• It reduces the cost of the server

What is a common use for servers with large amounts of storage?

• Running video games

• Playing music

• Providing network storage to other machines

• Displaying high-resolution graphics

What is the EDSFF standard used for in servers?

• Improving the visual design of servers

• Allowing for higher power delivery and better cooling

• Increasing the number of CPU cores

• Reducing the size of the server

How do server motherboards differ from home PC motherboards?

• They are always smaller in size

• They follow standard form factors like ATX

• They have fewer expansion slots

• They are often proprietary and not built from off-the-shelf parts

What is a key factor that makes servers different from each other?

• Their price

• Their brand

• Their intended use

• Their color

Why don't cloud computing giants use gaming PCs in their data centers?

• Gaming PCs are too expensive

• Gaming PCs are not scalable or efficient for data center needs

• Gaming PCs have too much RGB lighting

• Gaming PCs are not reliable
