Intel Xeon E-2176G Benchmarks and Review Major Performance Upgrade

[John Lee]

Our Intel Xeon E-2176G benchmarks and review are going to show why this CPU is a strong option for cost optimized dedicated server nodes. We believe this represents one of the largest value jumps in almost a decade in this space. It is a SKU priced only about 7% higher than the Intel Xeon E3-1275 […]

It's so much more powerful than the previous generation.

I know it’s said to be a small part of the market but from an edge computing or branch office type usage it’s more than enough in most cases I am sure.

How about using these as compute nodes in a Kubernetes cluster? 5-10 to possibly 21GB ram per core isn't that shabby. And the cost/performance is allot higher then the scalable lineup. Even higher the AMD Epyc in most workloads. Any downsides to using this versus a dual 4114 system besides Ram?

16 pcie 3.0 lanes is pretty weak, tis why it's cheap.

Also only two memory channels.

CPU compute loads don't actually need PCI-e lanes, dual channel memory is a more valid argument depending on workload.

Chassis, motherboards, system hdd, network, power, space in datacenter it all ads up.

@malloot for a low-cost cluster sure.
