Has anyone done a side-by-side review of the v3/v5/v6 1230 or other E3 CPU over the recent generations?
Something coming to mainsite soon @Patrick ?


E3-1230 v3 (80w)
E3-1230 v5 (80w)
E3-1230 v6 (72w I believe)

idle power for each is...?
ipc improvements over v3 are?

Not ever played with E3's but since the architecture is the same on the desktop and E5 parts when you match the generation (e.g. Haswell, broardwell etc) I would assume Patrick is right, v3 was already idling very low.

The latest parts probably have a good saving of power for the same workload when more loaded I would guess based on the v6 being higher clocked for lower tdp
