So I'm in the market for an intel xeon and I found this used 2669 V3. I was just wondering if anyone had experience with this one specifically since it isn't really listed on Intel's parts list.
Here are the specs and I hope you guys can help me decide if it's a good deal or not:
Price: $450
Stepping: R2
Core Speed: 1.2-3.1 GHz
Cores: 12 (24 Hyperthreaded)
V3
Since I can't really find a lot of information on it, I'm not sure what motherboards would work with this. I'm guessing any X99 motherboard that works with the other V3 LGA2011-3 should be fine, but I want to double check.
This processor is most likely a higher binned version of a similar xeon (2667? maybe)
Also, a general aside, how would this do in gaming? I know xeons are not for gaming and that will not be the primary purpose of this CPU, but I want to make that if I wanted, I possibly could.
Are 4-8 cores running at 3.1 GHz enough?
