I just saw this article about comparing between dual Xeon E5-2670 machine and a Threadripper 1950x machine:
https://www.rootusers.com/2x-intel-xeon-e5-2670-vs-amd-1950x-threadripper-cpu-benchmark/
The dual Xeon score less, but did well for the budget. It's a 2012 CPU VS a 2017 CPU and the Threadripper is actually scoring very high even today compared to the Ryzen 3900x on Cinebench, so the Xeon gave a fair fight:

The article is from 2017. I wonder if today I can get even newer Xeons that are better than the E2670 at low price (The E2670 cost 50$ back in 2017, but the price can even be high if it would justify the end result), and that they would do a good job at multi-threading operations (3d CPU rendering workstation for example)
There are just so many Xeons and I wanted to ask you if you know about one that can be good even today (Just like the E2670 was good at 2017). If a E5-2670 cost 50$ in 2017, and scored a very nice score back then, I wonder what budget rigs I can build today.
Another thing, is there a motherboard that supports more than 2 Xeons? Like 3 or 4 Xeons together? That would be awesome (4 E5-2670 for 200$ compared to a 1000$ 1950x at release date)
