@concerto49 can you please explain why E5s appear to be faster: http://www.cpubenchmark.net/high_end_cpus.html
Well that doesn't really work as a blanket statement. According to the benchmarks, E3-1270v2 > E5-2620. I don't know if they do these by 1 core vs 1 core or full CPU. Don't much care, I stand behind my dual E5-2620 and anyone who has used it has 0 complaints. You can talk about clock speed and you can reference this, or you can actually try your stuff on it and see that it works like a beast. Talk is cheap. My CPU sure isn't. That's a challenge for you @yomero :P
Yup I LOVE LOVE LOVE my E5-1620, they are wonderful CPUs
It is faster since it has 6 cores. 6 x 2.0ghz Sandy Bridge is faster than 4 x 3.5ghz Ivy Bridge for multi-threaded applications that can take care of it. That's all. Per core E3 is faster.
You did it in purpose? That cpu is in another league
He did not, WebNX sells them for dirt cheap.
Lucked out, I guess.
E5-1620s are cheap, they are only around $300
@rds100
Doesn't always mean more neighbours.
@Spencer, Not sure if trolling or..
