Used this Xeon E5-2690v3 to upgrade an i7 workstation (i7-6850K) and this was a good choice. Easy -drop in replacement for the i7. Nice multi-thread performance bump from Cinebench R15, Xeon was 1827, vs i7 at 1144, so about 60% upgrade for $220 delivered. Single thread took a modest hit (Xeon=131 vs i7=162), but I only ocassionaly game so not too painful. Very good value for multi-thread and VMs based workstations. PROS: 12 Core / 24 threads allows much better multi-tasking, especially for VMs (Virtualbox) Decent cache at 30MB/L3 to keep cores fed Good thermal perf, Noctua D15 keeps the thing below 60c even under massive loads Easy setup in Gigabyte x99 BIOS CONS: Limited overclocking (ok -its a Xeon) x99 platform is out of production so support will be drying up

12 Core processor that is fast enough as single thread to use for ordinary tasks yet performs 24 thread tasks like video encoding that reduces the time taken.

This CPU is a Monster. It crushes x265 encodes. All 12 cores (24 Threads) run at up to 3100Mhz when needed for extraordinary multi core zoom. 2 cores will run Turbo up to 3500Mz making it also respectable for games. Nothing fazes this thing. It does everything, all at the same time!

It is to early to know, but so far it has performed well.
