Intel Xeon E5-2699V4 22 Cores 2.2GHz 55MB 9.6 GT/s 145W LGA 2011-3 SR2JS

Let us face it, why buy the latest processors for thousands of dollars, when even a few years old models give you drastically lower prices with still excellent performance. This used to be a $4,000 processor 10 years ago, now you can get one for about 5% of that price, still giving you 22 cores with 44 threads. Great for multipurpose machines like servers/VM hosts/storage. Get a good motherboard that supports hundreds of gigabytes of RAM, why waste it on a MB that only gives you 32 or 64GB. Works just fine as a single processor installation, and the power consumption is OK for the performance.

So I got two of these to go in my hp z640. 256gb of ram, and a 3080. Refurbished? Buy the warranty and then WHO CARES if it's refurbished. They work perfectly. I ran benchmarks with cinebemch and blew away the competition. I can play any game at max settings, but more importantly I can do music production with cubase or studio one without a single problem. It has never crashed, and I can do like 15 things at once with no problem. Seriously, get a couple of these and some ram and you'll have STABILITY and POWER. Also, buy the warranty. Don't be cheap. I get the warranty on everything I buy from Amazon and I don't have to worry about anything.

I upgraded my 2680v3's to these, and I love the functionality improvements. Very stable, Used the same cooling system as before with no issue. Pound for pound, these are the best value LGA-2011-3 socks that I have had for the money. Installation is the same as with any other LGA-2011-3, plug them in, add thermal paste, coolers, good to go. Stable and reliable.

For future reference, if one is going to use the newer V4 CPU, then all the power connectors must be attached to the power supply and mother board. The V4 requires the extra juice. Of course, the manual does not cover the V4, and I had no idea, all tested and works great. See attached. Thanks again.

Using this processor has a limited life due to security updates in Win 11. If you can stick with 10 and need to render and ray trace with CPU cores the E5 2699 rocks. Great for the next 2 years if you have a 2011-3 board and want to hold off on a new build.

I was hesitant because it was pricey and not new. However it works perfect as it should. Best bang for my buck for the most amount of cores. You cant get this much (yet) at this price. Intel® Core i9-12900 has 16 cores for a little over $600. Yes that's not a Xeon but anyway if core count is what you are after this is it; has 6 more cores and is in the same price range. I got this to put together the smallest and quietest server I could build. Got ESXI on there with some VMs and works great with 128GB of RAM in a SFF case with a Supermicro motherboard.

Funciona perfectamente, es un procesador que originalmente salió a la venta en 2016, pero por su alto rendimiento en ese entonces era excesivamente caro; te puede dar un rendimiento que fácilmente se puede equiparar a algunos procesadores de la actualidad pero a una fracción del precio.

Well packaged and delivered promptly. Product is better than expected.
