Epyc has higher raw performance, but I believe you'll have generally higher idle power consumption on 7001/7002 boards. Not sure about 7003 and 7004, though.

EPYC does not Fit WC621D8-NLIt's a matter of taste - Both have their pros and cons
??? Obviously.EPYC does not Fit WC621D8-NL
Yes I thought about EPYC but the higher clocks with Xeon W series processors sold me on this board for my use case, and of course the board price. I managed to bag a 12 core W-3235 3.3Ghz which turbos to 4.5Ghz for a reasonable price, would prefer more cores too but the higher end used Ws are few and far between so farSeems like EPYC would be better?
8259CL costs $250 each, hardly little money! You can get dual 2680v4 with comparable or even slightly better performance for $30 total!EPYC doesn't support Optane DCPMM (which can be nice). Also, even if you take cheap 7302 into account, Platinum CPUs like 8259CL can be found for very little money.

People need bigger catapults, STAT.Does NOT(!!!) ship outside UK. Please update prefix to UK.
I believe you are very mistaken here, price side and performance comparison.8259CL costs $250 each, hardly little money! You can get dual 2680v4 with comparable or even slightly better performance for $30 total!
Intel Xeon Platinum 8259CL 2.5GHz 24C 35.75MB LGA 3647 Turbo CPU Processor | eBay $236 that's the cheapest price i could find on ebay for the 8259CLI believe you are very mistaken here, price side and performance comparison.
Also have to consider price of cooling a second socket, these coolers ain't cheap, I paid £110 for the Noctua which really hurt. But maybe you guys not using a PC case? Interested to hear what people using for 3647 cooling.eBay just sets a bar. So if someone would offer you 8259CL for less than the cheapest eBay price, you would buy it. Like with this board, no one would buy above 160US$ now. But that's not the real market, because you don't know whats paid from private offerings. So don't say 2680 v4s are the better deal because they are cheaper and perform slightly better.
If you have double the performance in dual socket mode in some cases, you can expect a higher price. If you also include savings that you can achieve with 8259CLs vs 2680 v4s, I stand by my opinion that you are very mistaken here. This board, as an example, allows you to run 256GB extra RAM from Optanes for ~70-80US$ (2x128GB). You may get 128GB of DDR4 2400Mhc ECC for 100US$. But with these Optanes you dont even need an Optane drive as cache drive or vm store or whatever. You are out here with the 2680 v4 and need to run an extra PCIe device, that sucks available lanes, not able to achive the same performance etc. So you get where this is leading. Don't make these comparisons. Specially with a 8259CL/8222CL and a Broadwell.
And this is an awesome cheap board and it deserves a powerful Scalable Gen2 CPU.
I would expect (or hope) most to pay below that bar.eBay just sets a bar. So if someone would offer you 8259CL for less than the cheapest eBay price, you would buy it. Like with this board, no one would buy above 160US$ now. But that's not the real market, because you don't know whats paid from private offerings.
does Hp z6 g4 run cheap OEMs like 8259CL,8222CL,8275CL,8272CL by default ?Curious why one would choose this over a cheaper oem workstation?
Long time ago I had a HP Z600, very nice machine, very quiet, compact and exceptional build quality. But when it came to CPU upgrades, HP's CPU support list was very limited. Always felt HP put up lots of barriers to prevent you from going outside their ecosystem (with juicy fat markups).While I freely admit this board offers more bios flexibility than an oem workstation I think by the time you get done building on top of this an hp z6 g4 would be materially cheaper. Dell or Lenovo same story.

Hp z6 g4 is quiet as a church mouse.

we’re going to find out real soon because I’ve got a *CL Xeon and a Z6 G4 sitting in my office as I write this. Just need to locate my thermal paste.Brand name WS are shit when it comes to ES, QS, and OEM cpus. MB from Asus and Supermicro might be a bit more expensive but allow for more flexibility later.
not all *CL do not work.we’re going to find out real soon because I’ve got a *CL Xeon
That is my understanding as well. I see reports that all but the high-amperage xeons do work. I also see that qs xeons work, as well as reports that es xeons work on certain older bios versions—essentially the same story as most s3647 motherboards, with the only appreciable difference being the hp is not amenable to bios modification.not all *CL do not work.
