So you are saying they could be had cheaper at some point in the past? Or even now? I must have missed that.that's horrible price now for 2687w v2. over $330? no way...

Horrible price for that spec no matter what timeSo you are saying they could be had cheaper at some point in the past? Or even now? I must have missed that.
There are many example of v3 cpu that will give equivalent performance compared to v2 for cheaper than v2. the problem is the ddr4 vs ddr3 price.Prices don't seem that great for these. Picked up a E5-2630 v3 for $154, non-engineering sample on eBay maybe two months ago. There are deals, but you just need to be patient. At the time I was watching a few other chips for a similar price, I only needed one.
I picked up 4x E5-2630v2's for 200$ total...was a steal..gonna build me a relatively low power(consumption) kubernetes cluster.Prices don't seem that great for these.

I have a S2600cp2 with 2x e5-2660v2. While the idle consumption did drop from e5-2670v1, it still draws ~150w on idle. It may be my config with the other cards, ram, hard drives etc....was a steal..gonna build me a relatively low power(consumption) kubernetes cluster.
That's not too bad. I'm currently running a poweredge r230 with an e3-1280 v6 in it with 4 HDD's and it draws probably close to that (UPS shows ~400w with that plus my NFS storage server, and I know the NFS box only draws around 150-170W). If I can fit 2 nodes with dual processors (e5-2630v2 - 80W) with power savings turned on in ~150W / node, it'll be a worth while trade off for the core/ram increase over what I have now. Going with V3 or V4 made zero sense due to the not only the cost of the hardware, but the prices on DDR4 ram + CPUs...best prices I could find would've been in the mid to high Thousands, vs the 800$ i spent total on these 2 nodes. Also not going to be using disks (satadom for boot), all storage will come via NFS mounts.I have a S2600cp2 with 2x e5-2660v2.

Yeah i think part of his load is the 10G nics, remember reading somewhere that a dual port 10G nic drew 15-20W by itself, can't image what a 40G would do.That is a lot of power, my X9DRI with two 2696v2 and 8x16GB 1.35V memory modules and a single 800GB S3700 in a Supermicro 826A chassis idles at 85 watt.
Of course, I plan to add 2x LSI 9311 SAS controllers and a 40G NIC and 6 more SSD. Which will probably add 40-50 extra watt.
Where are you getting 16gb PC3-12800R for $40?@oddball For home lab use -
Even now 16gb pc3-12800R dual rank can be sourced for $40 range. DDR4 16GB on the other hand goes for aroud $120.
About a year / 18 months ago DRAM and Flash prices have spiked and have not come down much.

Need patience and setup searches and alerts on eBay.Where are you getting 16gb PC3-12800R for $40?
