What Buyers Say
Intel Xeon E5-2697 v2 12-core LGA 2011
80 out of 100 medium confidence 10 reviews
The Intel Xeon E5-2697 is generally praised for its high performance, especially in demanding tasks like simulations, mathematical analysis, and server workloads. Users highlight its 12 cores and cost-effectiveness compared to upgrading to a new computer. However, there are isolated reports of it being slow for some uses, compatibility issues leading to a non-functional unit (which may have been an engineering sample), and a suggestion that dual older Xeons could offer similar performance for less money.
