In short I was building a new server with a single proc SM server board with an E5-1620v2. I then came across a desktop board for a great price and I was going to use an E5-1620v3. With costs being the same, the RAM slot count and total RAM being the same wold I benefit anything by staying with one over the other. Having ECC support is not of a concern on this box. I'm wondering is there anything the be benefited by have the V3 over the V2 proc other then it's newer.
E5-1620V2 or E5-1620V3

You likely lose IPMI with the Desktop Board too... which for many is a deal breaker too.
The v3 also likely idles lower.
I think the v2 is higher frequency, lower power, and their pass-marks are within a couple hundred of each other.
V3 + SM board likely guaranteed to work with NVME the other v2 board might now if that matters.
