WTF IS THIS 14 CORE PROCESSOR REAL!?!
WTF IS THIS 14 CORE PROCESSOR REAL!?!
This Xeon chip features 16 fetching units and a 35 MB cache for 168 USD. Combined with an affordable Dell workstation motherboard, 16 GB DDR3 RAM and similar 1080 Ti specifications could create a powerful PC under 700! -Link edited by staff- https://www.ebay.com/itm/SR2N7-INTEL-XEO...4104117602
You can get a functional PC under $700 while keeping the system up-to-date.
it is kinda old as it is frm 2016 and supports slower memory....heres intels website.. https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/...0-ghz.html
Checkout specs available, but the cost seems a bit off. The 2698v3 is still priced more than double what it should be. If you have confidence in the seller, it’s a solid offer. Also, it needs DDR4 rather than DDR3 to function properly. Socket type LGA2011-v3

XEONs aren't ideal for gaming. A more affordable processor such as a 9100F, 10100, 3100 or 3300X would work much better.
It's a solid CPU only if you can afford a budget board and give it a real workload. Otherwise, it's quite mediocre. For games, it performs poorly.
It varies based on your expectations for the game. For gaming, it could be a less-than-ideal option due to limited core performance and fixed boost settings. Broadwell supports DDR4 RAM, which makes a budget machine under $700 seem promising—but that’s still optimistic. The 9100 model stands out as a better fit for demanding titles like Battlefield 5. In high-demand scenarios, the Xeon might struggle against modern multi-core workloads.
