Looking for E5-2603 V4

[Patrick]

I know this is going to sound a bit strange but I am looking for an Intel Xeon E5-2603 V4 CPU.

For the background:

• The Intel Xeon Bronze 3104 is in a rig being benchmarked now.
• We have a Xeon E5-2603 V3 already done
• I was thinking it may be interesting having essentially the lowest power parts of each generation
• All three are 6C no HT. V4 and Bronze 3104 are the same clock speed

I am open to buying, trading, renting for a few weeks, whatever it takes. Heck if you saw a cheap listing on ebay with reasonable shipping I would be OK with that.

Regards,
Patrick

Found this listing near me (Canadian pesos...) Kijiji Canada

I'm trying listings like HPE PROLIANT DL380P G8 INTEL XEON CPU KIT E5-2603V4 4CORE 715223-B21 715223-l21

I would get something like Intel Xeon E5-2603 V4 ES QK3H SR2P0 1.7Ghz 6Core 15MB 14nm 85W LGA2011-3 CPU | eBay but that is giving mid-Aug to mid-Sept ETA.

Also, these chips fall like rocks in value with new generations.

V1 = $9 Intel Xeon E5-2603 SR0LB 1.80GHZ LGA2011 Quad-Core Processor CPU *km
V2 = $90 Intel Xeon E5-2603 V2 E5-2603v2 1.8GHz 4-Core Processor SR1AY 10MB LGA2011 80W
V3 = 0 bids at $50 Used Intel Xeon E5-2603V3 SR20A 1.60 GHz - Pulled from working server and a bunch of others around $100

My theory is that people buy Lenovos and the like with these CPUs, then swap them out for higher-end parts to save money since CPUs have a crazy low failure rate.

Yes they were/are a common base CPU that tends to get upgraded. Should be able to get one really cheap, surprised none can be found so far for just a handful of dollars, would have expected nobody desires these CPU's

I appreciate being relegated to "nobody" status. I highly desire one! :0)

Of course, not everyone's use case is showing generational performance gains without Hyper-Threading.

 

[Evan]

Haha sorry nobody
E5-2609 v4 any use for your testing ? Maybe also worth checking for them, 8 cores at a mighty 1.7ghz with no turbo boost or hyper threading. So just disable 2 cores and it should identical to. 2603 ? TDP is same 85w so maybe under full load a very small difference but I assume that does not matter at all for a CPU with no turbo boost so no chance to do anything with any headroom gained ??

@Evan I do not have the V3 version, but I do have the Bronze 3106 which is the 8 core 8 thread 1.7GHz Skylake part. So it is useful.

If I rent one out to you could I come take a look at the lab

i gotta ask. how many systems/parts do you have?
i bet walking into your shop/office/data center is like walking into a toy store.

Some may have more varied than others but I know I do get that feeling sometimes that I get to play with some cool stuff, have not deployed a system with less than 512gb ram in a long while or buy storage by the PB, or 150tb all flash vSAN clusters etc.

Much to my wife's displeasure, most of it is sitting in my garage Honestly most of my parts (CPUs, RAM, HDDs, RAID cards) go pretty quickly. I am sitting on 20+ 13th Gen barebones systems that I need to get around to listing!

@Patrick
If you are still looking for E5-2603v3 CPU, a pair of ebay listing , CPU located in Livermore.
2hours to go, no bid at $100 each.

Intel E5 2603 v3 SR20A 1.60GHz 6Core 15MB 85W LGA2011-3 | eBay

 

[CookiesLikeWhoa]

I wanna say I got a pair I can give you. I have to check to see if they are 2603's though they might be 2609's. I know they're V4's.

I live in Sunnyvale so dropping them off would be easy if you still need.
