Someone nearby is selling a Motherboard/CPU combo with Xeon Gold 6135 (Skylake SP, 8C/16T, 3.4Ghz) & Tyan mothernoard for $150. My home setup includes two Haswell systems with E5-2667 v3, also 8C/16T. One is my desktop, and the other is running Unraid. Looking at Passmark benchmarks for the closest match, the Xeon Gold would be a bit faster.
So, I'm wondering if there's any other advantages in upgrading to Skylake, from Haswell other than the systems being newer and faster? Looking on Ebay for comparison, the price certainly seems good, and (hopefully) I could reuse the DDR4-2133.
Thanks.
