My current home server is a couple of years old, built on an early Xeon Scalable (FCLGA3647) in a C622 based motherboard. I have seen some decent prices on Xeon W-3200 processors (also FCLGA3647) with the same core count but 1GHz+ higher base clock speeds. The W-3200 processors are intended for workstation motherboards designed around the C621 chipset. Except for lame vendor white/blacklisting, though, I don't see why a W-3200 processor could not work in a C622 server motherboard.
Has anyone already tried that combination?
