You're starting a compact server setup to upgrade your workstation. You're using a Chinese dual X79 board with 64GB RAM and some 18TB drives. Your goal is testing VMs, light gaming, and filling space on your WP200. The two CPUs listed are budget-friendly options under $100. Choose based on performance needs versus cost.

I expect it to run at 2650 v2, with a solid boost in clock speed—important for many applications, such as game servers. The TDP remains consistent. You likely won’t require the additional multithreaded speed.

Thank you for the reply; it's interesting too that the 2650s are a fraction of the cost lmao

There’s no need for so many threads. A Ryzen setup is often enough and can handle most tasks efficiently.

I mentioned earlier that I work with virtualization and occasionally set up game servers. My budget for RAM and CPU was $300, leaving me with $100 for CPUs.
