At that end unless you needs lots of PCIe or the possibility to upgrade then Xeon-D is still a very good option especially if you want small size.
Like the e5 v4 I don't see much point below about 10 cores... e5-2640v4 or silver 4114. Unless you have some special needs and 10G network in enough.

Yea but that mobo is $500, Silver 4108 is $450 Intel BX806734108 Xeon Silver 4108 Processor | eBay and you need a cooler You need a cooler for the Dynatron B5 Intel Socket FCLGA3647 Narrow ILM 2U Active CPU Cooler PWM LGA 3647 | eBay

Here's the X10SDV-8C-TLN4F: $900 Supermicro DDR3 Socket F Motherboard X10SDV-8C-TLN4F-O | eBay

Pros for Xeon D: Lower Power. m ITX. 2 extra 1Gb

Pros for Xeon Silver: Faster. 8 dimms on that board instead of 2. SAS3 8 port. 10 SATA not 6. Many PCIe expansion instead of 1 slot.

Not much more you can get the 4110 with higher clocks for PLEX. You can save $200 and get the 3104. So many options.

@Patrick What is going on with the Dual E5-2620v1 in the C-ray 1.1 graph. It is lagging behind of the dual L5520 that is two gens older.

Mislabeled. Great catch. Fixing now. ETA 5 min.

Pulled in the wrong E5-2620 configuration data. Grrr.
