[SOLVED] Xeon 26xx v3 and Xeon 26xx v4 huge price differences worth it?

[CaptianLoop]

Hy!

I have a system (Dell T7810) that supports both v3 and v4 CPU. I am thinking about CPU update (from 2609v4). I don't know if the 2/3/4x times price difference worth it. For example 2620v3 is 17eur 2620v4 is 70eur. I look forward an "L" CPU 2650L v3 or v4. The price difference is almost double 70eur vs 125eur.

I compared them, v4: +2 core, little bit more cache, +12% memory bandwidth, -100MHz. These values worth the additional cost?

I using my system for virtualization, hyper-v core,

Virtualization is usually a RAM limitation rather than a CPU limitation. Your 2609 is a fairly limited CPU. Low clock and no hyperthreading.
Be sure you have plenty of RAM before thinking about a CPU swap.

V3 = Haswell
V4 = Broadwell

try to find 2667 v3 or v4 instead, they clock 3.6ghz max, if you do need the clocks.

I don't need clock for virtualization, only RAM and core matters. I have enugh RAM 128GB and I still have channels to populate.

I have enough RAM 128GB and I still have channels to populate. I know that 2609 is an entry level xeon, that's why I wan't to change it.
