Powerful CPU for the price Runs cool Great for hosting Virtual Machines
Advanced and very fast CPU
- Based on many negative forum post with most having no experience with the processor I was apprehensive. However, based on the Intel ark information and my server requirements it fit my needs so I purchased discounting the naysayers. - I'm glad I did as this CPU has been rock solid under an initial test setup and now a full production state VMware ESXi setup. - I paired this with an X11SPM-TPF and they have been a happy marriage - With CPU, MB, x8 WD Red Pro drives, x1 WD Purple, Samsung Pro M.2, x2 SATADom's, x7 fans (Noctua 3,000rpm units). With all of this at very low use it is pulling about 100 watts, in medium about 150 watts. - The CPU stays very cool even under a full load stress test. Note: I'm using a Node 804 case not a server rack so temps will naturally be lower in a larger case. - New socket & heat-sink compo is very sturdy and secure once installed; there's no question if it is seated & secured once installed.
Working as described. Very good processor.
12 cores, DDR4 2400 RAM @ 76.8 GB/s, 9.6 GT/s QPI bus, TDP of only 105°. Did I mention 12 cores? Great for VMs, web servers, or even an Exchange Server.
Great when paired with a second cpu. Two of these cpu's will achieve around 1600 in Cinebench. I used these in a entry level workstation geared for rendering.
This thing is like as fast as my insane AMD FX 6300!!!
Excellent Performance Can pair together for dual CPU's 32 Threads (2x 2670)
- Perfect for a low power home server, I replaced 3x i7's with this, all of which consumed 85W each and have less threads combined than this Xeon - Runs extremely cool and quiet with Noctua cooler, have not seen it over 40 degrees since installing it
6 cores / 12 threads Great performance for price ECC support
