I am happy to know my Skylake is still competitive and I hope it stays that way for the next 5 years.

Yeah but getting a proper dual slot MB is not exactly cheap. Unless you try your luck with chinese knockoff boards.Cinebench R20, 2 x E5-2667v3 @ 3.2Ghz: 5904
You can get a lot for the dollar by buying old stuff.

And if gaming is a concern then these old xeons are not the best choice.
From a bit more you can build a 3700x config.
Yeah, gaming wise it isn't because it will eviscerate the xeon. In cinebench it is much closer to the xeon than the xeon's handicap in gaming. Saving thousands? An entire 3700x build doesn't cost 1000. Talk about hyperbole.The idea isn't that you're buying old new CPUs. You're buying an entire old build. In which case you will save hundreds, and maybe even a thousand or more. 3700x isn't really in the same class. The 3900x will beat it though.

The used xeon is a great choice if all you are concerned with is bang for the buck in multi threaded workloads, and don't care about anything else including warranty. But don't try to sell it as this better than everything else world beater because it isn't.
BTW if you're buying an old build it will cost more than the Chinese knock-off dual socket boards. So you aren't saving anything then. As an all round enthusiast machine the 3700x build is just better for roughly the same cost, and it will be new with warranty.

EDIT: These bad boys are only $40 or less on eBay... sellers don't know what they have. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Intel-Xeon...421027?hash=item521af28a63:g:NZ0AAOSwUTZcr8Pb

The s30 I had was a great machine but it was the earlier revision thst didn't support v2 cpus. You have the front USB 3.0 ports right? I think model number is 6006 or something. Thst one has support for v2. Thst being said, isn't the 1650v2 about that fast with half the cores? Also if you want twice the performance get D30 or c30 as they are the same thing but dual cpu socket. Look for front USB 3.0 ports if you want v2 support.I'm not contesting the value of modern platforms... But a $40 CPU was one hell of an upgrade for this aging LGA2011 Lenovo S30 I saved from the scrap heap. My daily driver is a Z370 system. I'll have to bench it later.
Hold my beer.I added a few new results of my own. I don't think anyone will be able to beat my new lowest record without cheating.
Actually surprised to see it was a R20 run. Was figuring that it would have been an R15 that finally completed (as R20 wasn't released at the time).
What core voltage was necessary for stable 4.3 all core on the 3900X? I can't get mine to complete more than 1 R20 run at 4.3/1.325v.I could run it on virtually any range of CPU's you can imagine. I actually collect CPU's. I have enough in my collection. However, I neither have motherboards for all of them, nor the desire to do it.
