W0w, that is a precise answer!Yes, all v2 chip prices are set to fall on 04/01/2017.
Yeah, it's a just something I picked up while working at the carnival from the psychic lady with three nipples.W0w, that is a precise answer!
Windows 10 x64 works just fine on it. Running it myself. The Emulex BMC graphics is the only tricky part and the Server 2012 driver for Pilot III work fine. It won't support 32-bit color at high resolution though.See below for intel tested OSs. Spoiler, w10 is not listed.

Sarcasm, is not your strong suit.W0w, that is a precise answer!
Edited my benchmark post with some fuller results... ran dual/single 2670s and dual/single 2660s in same setup for comparison purposes, if anyone is interested.Not sure if it's been done in this thread yet, but some benchmarks I ran -

Hadn't ran PM bench until this thread. See attached, single 2670.Not sure if it's been done in this thread yet, but some benchmarks I ran -

NB. Chembro server listed has V1 E5-2670 and may not support virtualisation, if needed. E5-2650 V2 CPUs would be needed for virtualisation FYI.Consider this thread for a $500 dual e5-2670 with 64 gb ram, all ready to go just add disks.

No need for sarcastic humour and false information when members are asking for advise, not good to steer others down the wrong path. If you want to do comedy, you should state in your post that you 'are just kidding'In a year or two, will the v2 chips experience the same kind of massive price decrease that the E5 2670 has had?
The SR0KX version (listed by NATEX) E5-2670 supports VT-d. Both SR0H8 & SR0KX support virtualization.No need for sarcastic humour and false information when members are asking for advise, not good to steer others down the wrong path.

My understanding is that currently both V1 & V2 CPUs are selling at massive price decrease.
NB. My understanding is that V2 is needed for virtualisation tasks.
Note to self. Don't read @jwegman's comments while eating/drinking somethingYeah, it's a just something I picked up while working at the carnival from the psychic lady with three nipples.
Speaking of false information... v1 E5 are Sandy Bridge-EP. v2 E5 are Ivy Bridge-EP. You're apparently thinking of steppings. v2 E5 Xeons have not yet dropped significantly in price.My understanding is that currently both V1 & V2 CPUs are selling at massive price decrease.
NB. My understanding is that V2 is needed for virtualisation tasks.
I think that it's only the v1 CPU's (Sandy Bridge 32nm) that are massively discounted, but if you have seen v2 (Ivy Bridge 22nm) discounted please let me know where, I'd like to get in on the action.My understanding is that currently both V1 & V2 CPUs are selling at massive price decrease.

Agreed. Intel always has reason(s) for silicon revision. Do you happen to know if Intel released a PCN that identifies the C1 to C2 changes?Well they didn't revise the silicon and spin a new stepping for no reason.
It wasn't that hard to find actual Intel documentation of the issue. But, you can continue pretending it's an urban legend if you like.Agreed. Intel always has reason(s) for silicon revision. Do you happen to know if Intel released a PCN that identifies the C1 to C2 changes?
Meaning that's why it worked for me ...That explains a lot.
Do something crazy (see post #29). Like quote yourself.For the v1 release, the production releases are C1 (SR0H8) and C2 (SR0KX) steppings. Although it has been widely reported on the 'net that C1 steppings do not support VT-d, I (and others on this forum) have posted evidence to the contrary for SR0H8 units, which appear to pass through hardware in ESXI rather well. I'd rather trust my data than internet conjecture ..
BTW, try a google search for "e5-2670 c1 virtualization" and let me know how many of the hits indicate that "C1 stepping is broken" and actually have data that backs it up.
