The Intel Xeon E5-2600 v3 processors take huge leaps forward in performance and power efficiency. Based on 22nm Haswell EP micro architecture and with LGA 2011-3 packaging, the Intel Xeon E5-2600 v3 family has core count ranging from four to eighteen, and supports DDR4 of up to four channels to feed these cores with adequate data. The support for two processors configuration and Hyper-Threading technology take the parallel computing capability to the next level.
The new Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 v3 family product helps IT address the growing demands placed on infrastructure, from supporting business growth to enabling new services faster, delivering new applications in the enterprise, technical computing, communications, storage, and cloud. It also enables powerful, agile data centers by supporting a Software-Defined Infrastructure (SDI) to address the imminent need of greater flexibility with higher levels of automation and orchestration. In addition, with the significant benefits in virtualization and security, as well as a low total cost of ownership and Intel’s acclaimed product quality, the Intel Xeon Processor E5-2600 v3 product family is a compelling solution for any organization.
Versatile Performance with Improvements up to 2.2X
The Intel Xeon Processor E5-2600 v3 product family adds 50 percent more cores and cache over the previous generation and includes numerous other hardware enhancements, such as Intel Advanced Vector Extensions 2 (Intel AVX2) and Intel Quick Path Interconnect link (QPI). These innovations deliver up to 2.2X the performance over the previous generation to significantly boost output across a broad set of workloads. The Intel Xeon Processor E5-2600 v3 product family also delivers an increase in virtualization density of up to 1.6X compared to the previous generation, building on an ever more important capability in the data center.
Foundation for Trust and Security
Data protection and data center security is critical to all organizations. Intel’s hardware-enhanced security technologies on the Intel Xeon Processor E5-2600 v3 product family better protect data and platforms through workload isolation, security policy enforcement, and faster data encryption.
Innovation that Streamlines the Data Center
With the growth of private and hybrid clouds in the enterprise and with increasing demand for services, IT seeks higher efficiencies in orchestration, data center management, and virtualization on a path toward a Software-Defined Infrastructure (SDI). The Intel Xeon Processor E5-2600 v3 family brings several innovations, such as Intel Node Manager 3.0 to help IT deliver greater levels of efficiency, while responding faster to business needs. Other key innovations that will have significant impact on streamlining data centers and extending efficiency and performance include DDR4 and Intel Ethernet Controller XL710 Series.

Pros: Runs cool, mind you I put a Noctua NH-U9DXi4 cooler Good on power consumption Easily handles multiple virtual machines. I run between 3-6 mix of Win2012/10 and Linux variants Converting video in Plex is fast when multi threading kicks in. About 14 min for a 1hour 1080i clip to a playable mp4 high quality clip for Ipad. Compared to 30-40 min on my old AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black.
Cons: More of caveat than a con. I think these have to be used in the right context. Don't expect raw power from these compared to higher clocked CPU. For single threaded use my older 3.4 Ghz quad core AMD Phenom out performed in terms of "perceived" performance. e.g. booting most VM's in KVM was faster or felt snappier. At full bore cores will max out at 2.6 Ghz and only rarely will you see 3.2 from a few cores depending on workload. Lookup intel turbo boost. Maybe water cooling can help but temperature I think only plays a small role. So generally a higher clocked CPU will outperform single tasking operations. Arch Linux is running great serving up to 6 VM's with loads of background services. However if I were to start over I'd go for a higher clocked 6 core Xeon for more punch with the day to day stuff.
Overall Review: As already mentioned in another review DD4 speed capped at 1866 If, like me, this is your first Xeon CPU you might be better served by something like a Intel Xeon E5-1650 v3 unless you really know you need 8 cores and this is your price limit. Although a great CPU I think these ones excel in multi threaded environments and are primarily designed for multi socket. Which I guess should be obvious given the E5-2* designation which at the time I was searching I didn't realize.
