It's an absolute tragedy that, from Skylake onwards, Intel started c0ckblocking consumer grade motherboards from using Xeons. Haswell and Broadwell were the last generations to allow this. These companies and the regulators / politicians in their pockets claim to care about the environment but where the rubber hits the road, they clearly dont give a toss. Older xeons that companies replace could be used by general consumers in cheap desktop builds, instead of ending up as e-waste. seems there's a rather large cognitive dissonance here. Stated policy goals and interests arent always in sync with their actions. Wonder why that is lol

You might get a little bit more of gaming performance by disabling hyperthreading on those CPUs. There's a bit of overhead with hyperthreading that harms applications that are not optimized for 16+ threads such as all games basically. It will also reduce a bit the power consumption which should allow better clock speeds if you are hitting the power limit of that CPU

False. The all core turbo of the 2697 V3 is 3.1GHz The all core turbo of the 2696 V3 is 2.8GHz Single core max turbo is irrelevant in games. You'll never see that frequency while gaming. Those chips are not ideal for gaming. The E5 2697V3 is only a good chip if you have an expensive motherboard that allows you to hack and force the single core turbo on all cores (which is a difficult process even with the right motherboard). Then it becomes badass. But that defeats the budget argument and puts you in i3 12100f price territory. The E5 1660V4 is an 8 Core chip with 3.5GHz all core turbo. The 1650 has higher clock speeds but 2 less cores, and pushes less frames ultimately. Therefore E5 1660V4 is the budget champ.

I prefer the locked V3 as the TURBOUNLOCK using MiyConst's Mi899 is very easy to do and it really opens up performance that makes the V4 less appealing (though V4 has slightly better IPC). The turbounlocked all-core is still limited by TDP...which on the 2696v3 is 145W. With all 18 cores, 36 threads it will all core to just under 3.8Ghz when gaming. For heavy loads approaching 100% utlization, it will downclock to 2.8Ghz all core. CBR23 multi hits 14,050 pts.

At the moment there aren't really the chinese remanufactured boards to make the platform cost cheap, BUT Skylake Xeons are getting pretty cheap as well, both LGA 3647 and LGA 2066. Cascade lake ones aren't ridiculously expensive either, but still a fair bit more than skylake. My main PC currently uses a Xeon W-3235 that I got for $150 from china, but the board was also $350, so it may have been cheaper to get a 5900x and a decent AM4 board. As luck would have it though I get some nice to haves with the xeon I wouldn't get had I gone with high end AM4, 6 channel memory with ECC support (cost wise I was also able to pick up that RAM for a little less than $1/GB on a 96GB kit), and 48 PCIE lanes usable. So with a GPU and 1 NVME drive in I've got 20 lanes to spend, checking the block diagram on how they're wired might be important though don't want certain things sharing bandwidth.

Just for consumers wanting to buy one of these.. some info as I'm using two of these in my desktop. I have a setup with two of this exact cpu (it brought me to this video), 64gb DDR4 and a 3070 ti and considering I only had to buy the board, case and GPU it's a beast, runs pretty much any modern game at 1080p, some at 1440/2k, I run Arma 3 servers off it with around 10-15 players and can play while hosting with no issues at all. I'm aware there are better GPUs but that's what I could afford when I built it, and to match an ageing xeon it's more than enough. Sadly the motherboards are expensive for a dual slot, power usage is extremely high and they get HOT! You definitely need powerful cooling, I have 6 fans in my rig and it's as you imagine...loud. Water cooling may be a better option but as I've never configured water cooling I went for fans. I'm a virus lab tech and got the cpus and ram for free around two years ago and I'd be skeptical to purchase them myself if doing this build, while it's cool having a 32c/64t PC, the power usage and cooling are a huge concern and compared to a modern cpu designed for gaming they will fall behind, as I mentioned I host my own Arma 3 server with work and online friends so it's why I have this build. In total the build cost me around £700 ($800-900?) with the gpu and motherboard being almost equal in price at the time I bought them.

I have a Xeon E5-2690 V4 with (14c/28t) running at a max boost speed of 3.5 ghz with 24 gb of ddr4 in quad channel and it's a really decent platform despite its age! In Cyberpunk I can get a healthy 75-80 fps with Ultra settings and low RTX in 1440p with my RTX3070 Ti. The GPU is pretty much maxed out, hovering between 97 and 99% usage... So no cpu bottleneck there. I think it probably has similar performance compared to the E5-2683 V4 you tested, perhaps slightly better thanks to higher clock speeds, despite having 2 fewer cores. Great setup and I'm honestly thinking of upgrading the 3070 Ti to a 4070 Ti or a 4080. I'm pretty sure the games I play still wont be CPU-limited anyway (Cyberpunk, RDR2 etc).

Try the Xeon E5-2667 v4 (8C16T, 3.2Ghz, 3.6Boost). Biggest upside is +20% better single core performance. Noticeably snappier and performs better in games. Downside is -20% multicore, but only for tasks that can use that many cores to begin with. Price is similar, TDP is higher at 135W, but I've never seen it use more than 90W or so.

Not a bad showing from the old Xeon! I still think it’s a substantially better chip than any of the older Opterons from AMD for the sheer amount of cores you get & their superior IPC. Also surprised at how well it managed to push a 3060ti of all cards; I have mine OC’ed to around 2100mhz on the core and have it paired with a R5 5600 @ 4.8Ghz. Naturally it performs better in my case, but this older chip with a locked multiplier was getting decent utilization out of the same GPU (minus the OC)

I had an old xeon system before this one. Upgrading or rather sidegrading to this was due to gaming. Dual CPU system has no effect on games, but the quad channels on two chips was powerful, for things i never used it for. One of the xeons was somewhat equal in multi core in benchmarks to my current i7 12700K so it's not really an upgrade, there were two of those, so i practically cut my multicore in half, kinda somewhat whatever something. But single core? oh boy it was a huge boost. The system went to some university, to do something something molecules, maybe protein folding or maybe i misremember, didn't ask too much but i'm happy it went on to do something more appropriate. I sorta miss the huge heap of junk it was. But yea i should probably never have bought it in the first place. Was awesome to have that amount of power at my hands though, didn't have any use for it but i guess the i7 i have now is also over speck for watching youtube all day too...

I'm using a cheap chinese motherboard (Huananzhi X99-F8) and i'm using without HT, so i'm using at 8c/8t, because this motherboard doesn't supports so much power, without HT i can run at 4.5 GHz at 1.26v stable, with 3.5 GHz cache at 1.20v, in Cinebench R23 it runs at 180W, which is the maximum power this MB "supports", above this, VRMs temperatures go over 100c, below 180W those VRMs runs about 75c degrees. (It's only a 6-phase motherboard) With HT i can run at 4.3 GHz 1.16v without overclocking cache, at the same 180W limit, i run at 4.3 GHz to work daily, with Adobe Suite in Hackintosh and 4.5 GHz "mode" to run games in Windows, i need a more powerful mainboard to run 4.5 GHz 24/7 but they aren't cheap. 4.3 GHz Core/3.0 GHz Cache vs 4.5 GHz Core/3.5 GHz cache in gaming is a good difference, running Warzone at 140 FPS, CS2 above 300 FPS, Battlefield 4 above 300 FPS... It's a good processor, this CPU with a good motherboard can overclock RAMs too, this chinese motherboard doens't support overclocking RAM, then i'm running at 2133 MHz 13-14-14-23 with a cheap chinese DDR4 ECC RAM. This CPU at 4.5 GHz tuned with a good MB, plus cache overclocking (4.0 GHz) and good RAM (Quad Channel at 3000 MHz) can compete with Ryzen 7 5800X in games, KZbin has a video comparing this two CPUs.

It’s the motherboard prices that remain ridiculous, and even if you got a reasonably priced scalable Xeon, the price/performance ratio is so far behind he Xeon W790 platform, that there would be no point. The single socket Xeon W3200 and W3300 series are not far in price to the newest W3400 series Xeon’s. How do I know? Well, have been researching and compiling the data (prices) out there in used market for almost 3 weeks now, and for approximately 500-700 dollars you can build a Xeon W790 platform that would embarrass the best previous lga4189 platform without question.

I personally like the 2690V4. Higher clock plus boost is higher and 14 cores with all the cache makes it a top performer for me. 2683V4 does have slightly more cache, 2 extra cores but it doesn't matter much when comparing to the 2690V4. I do like this one too though. I'll bet the lows are worse due to the lower clock speed and lower boost vs 2.6ghz clock and 3.5ghz boost for the 2690V4. It's about 200 or so points better in single thread and 2000 or so in multi thread vs the 2683V4. 2011 budget mobo VRMs do get quite hot so I like to actively cool them with a small cheap fan. We're talking near 100c for many boards.

Also, had 8x8GB dimms of B-die G Skill FLARE X 3200CL14 laying around and boom. Had me new (2nd editing) PC for a really good deal. With a Corsair Platinum 280X AIO and a great VRM, the i9 9960X was boosting to 5GHz on 8cores with the other 8 at 4.6GHz. I already have the z370 Aorus Gaming 7 so i figured why not get the pair. Also, the x299 Aorus Gaming 7 (Pro) 2nd Gen. version actually has the Gaming 9 beat in some features. Including VRM and cooling. So, why not. I couldn't believe the price. It also matches the R9 5950X, which surprised me.

Nice system, but matches it (presuming R9 5950x) in what though? All the benchmarks I see comparing the 5950x with the 10980xe demonstrate crushing the X299 platform within the HEDT market….and remember Ryzen isn’t even HEDT, the Threadripper, which is HEDT is, and it decimates Intel from that era. With no response from Intel until the release of the most recent Xeon W790 platform to compete with the latest Threadripper 79xx series. FYI, I have an i9-10980xe in an Asus X299 Prime Edition30 mb with 64GB DDR4 as a main rig, and love it. I’m not biased, just realistic. Cheers

Recently trying to build a big NAS and the Dell PowerEdge R730 came up with these chips, the duo CPU is basically free, $100 for the server case and motherboard, $100 for 128GB RAM, some hard drives and everything will be fully enterprise grade

An academic project should be undertaken to optimize simulcrum (games) on many slower threads. Then maximum speed/complexity can be acheived by scaling the threads/cores.

With old x99 you can get 256GB of RAM (4x64GB RDIMM) and run the game totally in Ramdisk, nice to see if there is any bottleneck lol.
