Pros: Plug ‘n play, fast, reliable. Cons: None. Overall Review: Fantastic for usage in a development PC seeing high load from compiling. Running a dual processor configuration with this and have 9m44s full compilation of Unreal Engine 4.

Pros: 18 cores Cons: None Overall Review: I own 6 of these set in 3 Supermicro dual-sockrt rigs. They are being used for resource intense projects like 3d rendering, and hosting webapps for numerous clients. There’s no issue I’m amazed at how well they perform. It’s a touch better than 2699v3 for less price.

Pros: Using CPU in personal workstation. I wanted a high-end CPU w/ ECC support so I could run/test computational models. I run 1D & 2D Hydrologic and Hydraulic Models as part of my job and often bring them home for testing. This CPU is pricey but it is Intel’s sweet spot for core count vs speed. This is also the system I do everything (general work, gaming, etc.) on. Great product that works well. Cons: $ Cost is high. If I didn’t need ECC support I would have purchased another AMD FX Chip. Overall Review: I also have a FX 8350 system w/ DDR3 instead of DDR4, and Sata3 instead of an NVME drive, but this system/processor is only a little faster. When I run computational models, with runtimes of an hour or more, it only completes ~10% quicker. It does have two less cores and is a little slower, but it has an average benchmark score 60% higher so I was expecting more of a difference. Of course, these are not directly comparable cpus but I thought it was worth noting.
