18 Cores for $100, But What’s The CATCH? | Budget Xeons Compared
#Cores #Whats #CATCH #Budget #Xeons
“Server Science”
We’re taking a look at an 18 core Intel Xeon processor that’s almost 10 years old. It used to be an absolute behemoth, but how does it hold up in 2023?
We’re testing three processor options: the E5-1620 V3, the E5-2670 V3 and the E5-2699 V3. We’re testing the processors with Cinebench R23,…

It features more processors and less silly mistakes.
Listed below are the mistakes found in this video. Please read this before commenting:
1. The 13th gen i3s do have hyperthreading. I already know about this mistake.
2. At 10:00, I was referring to single core turbo, but misspoke and said multicore turbo. Thanks to @pascalfust1035 for letting me know.
3. Please stop correcting me on the price. I paid $100 AUD on eBay. If you got a better deal, that's great, but I am going to continue being honest about what I paid.
Would it be good idea to pair 7900xtx or 4070 ti Super with 2697a v4, 2697 v4, 2699 v3 ?
I'm concerned regarding bottleneck.
My motherboard is Msi x99A plus, support up to 2699 v4, which is much more expensive than v3.
Which combination would you recommend to play 4K with 70-120fps?
Thank you for your great videos
You should list the system specs in the description.
Ordered a 2697 v3 yesterday for 20 euro. Can't beat that for a budget PC 😄
Anyone tried playing Minecraft with a high cores CPU ?
I run one of these, they are much better once you do the turbo unlock.
I am currently running a 2697v3 (14C/28T unit) with Intel Arc A770 and I have to say, for a 1440p machine… it is a great thing
Tho to be specific as mentioned above – at 1440p, since this is a place where more and more of the work gets dropped to the GPU if you care about gaming
I really would not recommend anyone to go into X99 anymore if all you do is gaming at 1080p, there are much better (and sometimes even cheaper, based on where you live) alternative, but if you are going for daily 1440p / 4k gaming and care more about strong GPU and CPU is secondary, then go ahead with those bases
nice analysis, I have a 10 YEAR OLD pc with a 3930k overclocked to 4.9 GHz for those 10 years. It's been a great cpu. It has a gigabyte GA-X79-UP4 motherboard that has again been really good. I am currently running w10 and apparently can't upgrade to w11. TPM1 vs TPM2 and so on. Yet with my RTX 3090 I can play modern games such as HZD and others at highest settings and perfectly adequate frame rates (I use a 4k TV at 60 HZ). Alas, I want to run NVIDIA Cuda containers, and run Dockers and so on that require more advanced virtualisation instructions such as AVX2 and AVX 512 and VT-d. Virtualisation does not like overclocking either. I also want to use NVME ssd's and even iOptane 'ssd/memory'. So it's time to move on. The cost of modern processors is prohibitive though and does not confer that much of an advantage over the older Xeon's – provided of course that those older Xeon's have the instruction support such as AVX2 and AVX512 and virtualisation support for running local compute CUDA containers and dockers for AI training and inference and so on. Any thoughts? Am I being greedy for wanting tho be able to play games on such a device as well?
🙂
I own a dual 2699 v3 system for my home lab. The thing is great for my use
Get a platinum version and you'll have performance
must mention the all-core turbo unlock for the v3 Xeons
Best video! Top info
For not too crazy gaming, consider a 2630 v4. I just got one in a Dell T5810 with 32GB DDR4, put a 6700XT in there and this rig absolutely kills. The CPU barely goes above 40°C and even under full load (CB R23) NEVER breaks 55W! Haven't had any issues in gaming whatsoever. Of course stuff optimized high-clocked single threaded CPUs will suffer, but this whole system with the GPU included cost 400 shipped and it crushes. Can't argue with the efficiency of that.
I use two Xeon E5-2696 V2 2.5GHz 12 Core 30MB on an Supermicro X9DRD-IF – Dual LGA2011 Motherboard, only for Mpeg/MKV Decoding in HEVC, and it makes a great Job for this. Total shopping costs approx. €85 + 40€ for 96MB-DDR3 ECC Ram.
E5-2699 V3 $40.66 here in the Philippines.
Been using xeon 2650 v2 for 3 years. It is amazingly fast.
I am curious. would you get more frames. If you was running it in quad channel mode?
18 core 5000 wat psu
The Base Clock @ 2.x ghz is more than enough for most of us and cores do the work easy. If you get cpu with higher base clock it will be HELL to cool any bloody chip……water cooling which will leak later or cooling maintaince😖😖😖😖😖😖😖😖😖😖😖😖😖😖😖😖😖😖😖
Until Sommer of this Year ( i sold it because i dont play as often anymore and if i do my laptop is enough for League ect ) i rocked a Xeon 1230 v3 with en RX 570 ( Cost arround 80 Bucks ) and could play bassicly anything i wanted to. Surely not on the highest Details but for on Full HD with 60 FPS no Problem .. and with FSR technology .. pff easy. For everyone with low Budget. Grabing en Xeon with en decent older Card like the Rx 570 – 580 or 1070-1080 is still a Good choice if you are on a budget.
Consider the E5-2696v3, which is equivalent to the E5-2699v3 (with 18C/36 threads) BUT is also 1) DDR3 and DDR4 compatible, and 2) has a higher turbo at 3.8Ghz (vs.3.6Ghz). Both have the same TDP of 145Watts, so all core clocks are comparable. The 2696v3 was an OEM-specific release based on the 2699v3. For some reason, it also tends to be a little cheaper.
Naturally, both are capable of turbo-unlocking. On air (6x6mm, dual 120mm fan cooler) my 2696v3 never exceeds 51C at 20C ambient.
It's also scoring over 14,000 pts on multi-core in CB R23. Mine pairs well with an RTX 2080Ti.
@10:00 Not too sure about the information about the all core speed of the E5-2699 V3 that you mentioned. The 3.5 MHz you stated is not coherent with the information of Intel on All Core Turbo of this processor, which is meant to be around 2.8 MHz.
The 2696v3 is better, it is the same processor as the 2699v3, only the 2696v3 is compatible with ddr3 and ddr4, it has more frequency, and much cheaper on Aliexpress, it costs €50
the v4 is 140 cad and 22 core 44 thread io mean dollar to core wise
What about the v4 xeons?
i run an i3 & hyperthreading & on board graphics is the reason i bought it, anyway if your on YouTube you have to he prepared for the argumentative numpties,
I'm using it for gamedev (UE5) and some video encoding, almost 18 hours per day..
the electric bills at the end of the month was.. breathtaking
Any of the E5-1600's CPU are overclockable?
The problem with these is getting a good cheap motherboard
Why didnt you just go with the E5-2695 V4 ..it the same price with the faster DDR4 speeds and has the same 18 cores.
E5-2690 V4 is ~$35 in late 2023; i got it and i like it;
Awesome content ! Subbed…. Xeons are a great value … 🙂
I have 2 of these in a dual x99 Chinese mobo and it's a killer!
These old Xeon's are amazing deals if you are doing desktop or networking stuff. The abundance of PCI-E express lanes also is great if you are putting together a storage server. The only real downside is lack of integrated video (if you are only focused on desktop, and would prefer not to use some PCI-E lanes for a video card) as well as the high TDP. I've got a dual CPU Xeon server for a file storage server in my house and the whole system idles at 168 Watts. Which is really really high, probably double what a modern Ryzen system would idle at. 😔
2690v4 is a beast at gaming for only 30 usd or less,
£40 in uk at moment
this cheap cpus have always a catch that is the damn motherboards sometimes being incredibly expensive lol
Nice work on this! Has helped a lot!
The 2696v3 is better, with a slightly higher Boost speed. (3.8Ghz)
Lenovo p700 . Auction locked. Bios parts.
Got to run with a lot of time researching. With the update i used a different model number. But it ran. But not use all the board had to offer. Or software where not able to use too.
I have 3 p700.
I went crazy big buck new box. But there are no power supplies. Or adapters for power. So made my own.
2080 plus water cooled. Dual.
I did look 2699.
Then read so much more. But no v4 will not fit.
Thank you for your update. I join and thumps up.
Take care my friend ❤
For strong single-thread performance on X99, i7-6950X offers the best OC potential (Intel kept the best silicon for this SKU), but the used price for it is still too much for many people, compared to what the same (or less) money can buy you from the many-core Xeon line.
Thank you very much for this video!
I just picked up a Dell 7910 off Fleabay. Arrived in 3 days and in excellent shape. Has DUAL 2699 V3 18 Core Xeons (36 total with 72 virtual), 64GB RAM, 1TB SSD and a 4GB Dual Monitor Video Card. $400 with free shipping. KILLER SYSTEM. Next I'll upgrade the RAM to 128GB for another $75. 🙂
Thanks for the video! I have 2 dual Xeon systems and they are incredible! E5-2699 V4 and E5-2698 V3.
I have core i7 6800k and E5 2680v4 laying around and unfortunately I don't have motherboards which are insanely over price and I don't feel Chinese main boards are the good decision either
I got 2699v3 for 40€ on Aliexpress. And personally run a 2697v3 turbo unlocked on my rampage board 3.4ghz all core with turbo unlocked
отличные процессоры для 2011-3: 1650v4; 2689v4; 2643v4; 2690v4; 1650v3; 1660v3; просто отличные процессоры! у меня самого два 1650v4 и сейчас жду доставку 2689v4? интересно что он из себя представляет, по факту это тот же 6950x только с заблокированным множителем, но с более высокими частотами по умолчанию.
So wait is the v3 or v4 better?!
Great stuff im just starting out in cybersecurity is this a good cpu to start out with?
