Very power and cool running

I did a lot of research before buying this processor, it is by far the best middle of the road xeon out there. It balance between cost and performance is bang on. I do not have any regrets with my choice as i have yet to tax out the processor even running hyper-v with 6 vm's

operates at a constant 32 degrees; great speed step technology that idles at 1ghz no more wasted clock cycles; Over clocks to 3.2 ghz; 10 cores and 20 threads

I would say price but compared to other processor pricing its worth it

Great CPU, but to comment on another review

Great CPU, but to comment on another review; this processor doesn't compare to an i7 extreme. The clock speed on the xeon is much, much slower. I personally run an i7 6950k, and this xeon can't touch it in terms of performance, but for overall reliability and power consumption I would recommend...
