答案1
这个问题并不那么简单，不同的芯片在不同的任务上表现会更好。一般来说，对于中等用途的纯计算，英特尔的性价比会更高，但 Sparc 可以胜过它，尤其是在需要高并发性/低延迟的高端多线程处理方面。
如果你不知道你需要什么，否则你可能还是会坚持使用英特尔，并且在开始考虑外来硬件（好吧，Sun 并不完全是外来硬件……）之前，你需要确定你的瓶颈在哪里。如果你的存储子系统的带宽和延迟有限，那么世界上所有的处理能力都不会让你的速度更快。
答案2
要知道这会如何影响您的应用，唯一的办法就是在不同的平台上对您的应用进行基准测试。无论如何，您都不会运行相同的二进制文件。重新编译您的应用以适应 Intel arch，然后在工作站上运行它以获取一些性能数据。然后将工作站与一些服务器规格进行比较。
