November 18, 201114 yr Would $199.99 be a good price to pay for one of these? It is a clocked down and smaller cache version of the E3-1220. 2.2GHz vs 3.1GHz 3MB cache vs 8MB cache 20W vs 80W Max TDP The E3-1220 is $209.99 at newegg. EDIT: Oops, I missed that the 1220L version is dual-core w/ hyperthreading while the 1220 is quad core without hyperthreading. Hmm, not sure if it is worth $200 to me for dual core.
November 19, 201114 yr well.. the E3-1220L does support VT-d.. and have hyperthreading... It looks like it is a low end I3 with the video swapped for VT... if you wanted a esxi box with only a few guests on it. it would probably do the job. it would run unraid quite well and keep your electricity use low while supporting ECC ram.
November 22, 201114 yr and the E3-1230 gets you 4 cores + 4 hypertreads. -<(really big tires) OooOO the decisions. I personaly went with the E3-1230 at $240 at newegg. I want to load up an ESXI server. I looked at the 1220L but could not find them for a low price at the time. For $30for the hyperthreading i thought that was a good place to stop. Can step yourself up to a bunch of $$$ if you are not careful. Righ now not running ESXI my cpu mostly idles. Running crashplan as a target for 4 computers the most I see is 4% blips on one core in top. Doing parity check right now with 7 drives + parity dont see anything but 0% in top. I suspect the 1220L would be more than enough firepowef for an unraid server and some add ins. Here is link with the 3 compared 1220, 1220L and the 1230 http://ark.intel.com/compare/52269,52271,53401 Oddly the TCASE for the 1220 and 1230 are 69.1°C but the 1220L is 77.5°C Curious where you found the 1220L at. They seem hard to find. YMMV
