Pros: low TDP excellent performance can handle quad channel ram
Cons: Cost: the Xeon 2687W (150w TDP) is 1-5% faster, depending on your benchmark and prices at ~$1,800 rather than ~2,000 The reason this processor costs more than the 2687W is the TDP, which makes a big difference in air cooled server environment.
Overall Review: I bought 2 for quantum calculations and am not disappointed. I have one on an ATX sabertooth x79, 64gb of 1866mhz vengeance and an H100. The other is on an mATX Asus rampage IV gene with 32GB of 1866mhz Dominatior. Big question: why did I buy it? For my mATX setup an overclocked 3960X hits 200-300W when matching the performance of the Xeon 2690, too much for my 12-14in case (Silverstone Temjin TJ08-E) with custom water loop that included an EVGA 580 3GB hydro. If you need the performance but require a low heat output, this is the processor for you....but money must NOT be an issue when you start your build.
