Yeah, I'd thought it was a decent price. Especially since the 2680v2:s have gotten expensive lately. Still wonder if I made the right buy, I expect a pair of 2650v2:s would have been sufficient for me.
Hope I'm not deviating from the topic too much with this question. I'm replacing a pair of 2620v1:s that are running in a Supermicro 826B chassis and I'm hoping to reuse the passive heatsinks (SNK-P0048PS).
Should I be worried that the new CPUs are rated at TDP 130W compared to the older at 95W?
except maybe for the low power cpu, passive heatsink are no good.
Now they might have what looks like just a heat sink with no fan attached but you could have these baffles or air channels that have fans moving air thr them directly into the heatsink.
But just passive heatsink and a few regular fans in the back is not ok,

slightly better performance the 2680 v2 for about same price and about the same performance as 2690 v2 for significantly cheaper.... if you don't care about the ddr4 price....

Good old days. Fun facts.

The same seller after sold out 284 CPU , listed 30 more CPU for slight higher price.

So he's pricing it along the price of 2680 v2? If it wasn't for the ddr4, this is a better multithread cpu than 2680 v2. it's actually faster than even 2690 v2 slightly...
I have for sale three matching pairs of E5-2650v2 - same speed as E5-2670, but lower TDP.
I have one of those. It's not bad but unless the price is cheaper or not more expensive than 2670, most people will probably go for something higher
e5-2670 v1 is now at $5-6 per cpu. Which is the same price as x5650. Which is the same price as x5550
So looks like this is now the base bottom of the barrel lowest price floor. It's unlikely to get any cheaper....lol...

I think if you ask politely, someone will you give you these for free.
ive given away a few moving boxes full of cpus v1/v2/v3/v4 in low/mid tier models.
Mostly gotten used to write letters etc on walls for decoration.
I flip a bit of servers and usualy always upgrade cpus.
Last cpu lots i bought was
12x 6140 - 20$/ea
8x 2690v4 - 12$/ea
50x 2683v4 - 6.5$/ea
26x 2695v3 - 6$/ea
60x 2660v3 - 1$/ea
20x 2680v2 - 3$/ea
24x 2650Lv2 - 3$/ea
When you get as far back as v1 im guessing the floor is what they will bother to pack/ship it for.

These are really good prices... lol... Although i am now done with 2011 platform... upgrading to epyc 7002...
Where did you get that price? I bought 2x2690v4 a week ago for $58 in total. Wouldn't mind getting another pair at the price you quoted.
Thanks
I agree. For a general-purpose home lab, I don't think I need more power than a dual 2690v4 setup anytime soon (for the next 5 years at least). All I am running on this machine is a NAS, a few Windows VMs (5), Ubuntu VMs (2). The encoding job is on a VM with a GPU so CPU usage is minimized. The only CPU intensive task I have is when one of my VMs is doing the nightly dedupe job of a 2GB backup (full backup so 90% of the data is the same).
The MB keep their value much better. The analogy is the lenses keep value much much better than the DLR or mirrorless body.
My mind immediately went to glass and body in camera gear as well
