I'm thinking of jumping into this too, read about 20 pages of this thread, still sorta confused on somethings (like understanding CPUZ info and how it may not be accurate so ask for hwinfo).
Like someone said a few pages ago, the ebay marketplace for ES v4 chips seems to have dried up a bit - very few sellers and options. Some of you have gotten great deals in the past, now a few of the same models are higher due to lack of inventory I guess?
Anyway, I need something that uses less than 105W TDP + a reasonable higher than 2ghz base clock speed/turbo (on all cores) and at least 8 cores... I'll be using it for ESXi vm and hoping for < $300 for the cpu... any suggestions?
This chart someone posted early on seems extremely helpful to see TDP, Core count, etc... Intel® Xeon® Processor E5 V3 and V4 Series Finder
I found globalkingisbest on ebay offering E5-2630v4 "QK3G" which I think is what someone said its basically almost retail for $270
INTEL XEON E5-2630v4 ES 2.2GHz 10Core 25M 20Thread Processor CPU -- but again not sure if its the best deal. I asked him for CPUZ and hwinfo and he sent what i am attaching here.
