I saw that as well. I think ES do work though right? I would say that's more of a "Keep it in mind!!!" but not a "legit price" to say for sure.
I think Haswell is more expensive that it puts it in direct prirces with new threadripper systems, although you get the increased IPC of Haswell, but I was seeing the most legitimate options at $700 used. And that's still a lower clockspeed than Threadripper so it may be more equal for my gaming purposes.
I really think Ivybridge is the sweetspot though for prices for used from what I've seen.
My primary use for this is a "gaming server" that serves games around the home (and handles a few other tiny tasks but those only need 2-4 cores).
So keep that in mind, although feel free to let anyone know why you like a processor. Hopefully people can use this thread to find budget server solutions for themselves for whatever their use case is.
So anything that beats out the 2P Ivybridge Xeon setups in price/performance/core count for my gaming server purposes? Assuming I'm getting the 2P Ivybridge Xeon/Ram/Mobo for ~$700 (Don't care about other parts).
