Xeon E5-2600 V2 Price List: Ivy Bridge-EP

[rintamarotta]

Yield issues is my guess.
The 12 cores are in VERY tight supply.
All I was able to get was a pair of the E5-2670 V2 10 cores.. So far anyway!

Yeah, i think also yield issues and that there is not that many rackmount servers that need such high TDP processors.
I think ill buy two Xeon E5-2690 v2 or E5-2697 v2, multi-threaded performance will skyrocket and single threaded will remain pretty much same compared to E5-2687W's and maybe even better with E5-2690 v2.
My productivity will increase alot, less time encoding, more time cutting.

I can take bit extra performance from these cpu's with 1-2Mhz bclock overclock, i really wish they at least would enable strap overclocking, running these Xeons with 1.25 strap would be nice.

I really need replace EVGA SR-X with Asus LGA2011 Dual Socket Workstation board, so much quicker.
