18 Core CPUs!? - Intel Xeon E5 2699 v3 Processor Overclocking & Testing

Just throwing this out, the 7800x3d hits 2.9-3k on cinnebench, 350-400 bucks. This hits 2.4-2.5k on cinnebench- 20 bucks. I can say It wouldn't be stupid to build a cheap system around one of these to pair with a 1080ti. Show the new computers what for.

2023 and i get this recommended on the home page. something is going on.

Am I only one this got to my for you page, while I did rewatch it several times in my life,m

I have a Dell Precision on the way via USPS. It has a Xeon E5-2697 v3 14-core CPU installed. I'm excited to play with it.

"5000$ CPU"
this aged well

Crazy you can get 22core one of this for 200-300$ now

Classic LTT video 👍. I just picked up 2 of these CPU’s. Gonna get me a Chinese 2 CPU motherboard and hopefully have a little fun. 😂

Still a good watch

And now it's only 40$ on AliExpress

add 270 in there

back when this thing was decent. now a 13400f outperforms it by a long shot.

Just got myself a 2698v3 xeon unlocked it's turbo boost on all core and coupled with an undervolt this thing's a beast!

Was able to get this renewed from Amazon at 50$...8 years later
about to overclock to 2.8Ghz..
Will be a great video editing machine

Thanks Linus

man I missed the old days

Its still a rock solid editing cpu. My titan xp is the bottle neck on rendering.

These go for 40 bucks now.. LOL

These are 50$ on Amazon now. Time flies

coming back to this in 2023 where an i5 has 14 cores lmao

just bought one for 60 bucks...TODAY! in 2023...7 years after this video went live=)

Just got two of these for USD$50 each in 2023 for a Linux workstation. Have to love how the Chinese still make x99 motherboards with new stuff like NVME etc thrown in.
