Should I go with: 2680v4 or 2699v3? (alien.top)

I'm currently facing a decision regarding the choice of a CPU for my home lab and NAS, with two options available at an identical price point. One option is a high-core count Xeon CPU, while the other is a newer generation Xeon CPU with fewer cores.

I've conducted some research on CPU Boss, which suggests that the newer generation CPU might be the better choice due to its improved power efficiency and architectural advancements.

Given my time constraints, I kindly seek recommendations from this community to help me make a swift and informed decision. Your timely input is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

You’ll save a bit of power with the v4’s. I noticed about 40-60w difference from 2698v3’s to 2650v4’s.

I have a FX2S with four nodes each with two 2680v4’s and I’m plenty happy with the performance virtualizing. At those court counts, you’ll run out of RAM to allocate before running out of CPU to use.
