Has anyone done a build with the new Intel LGA3647 chips?

 

I was intending to do an X99 2011-3 E5 build however the buy prices per items are roughly equivalent between the 2011-3/3647 platforms.

 

I am currently looking at a dual CPU ASUS WS C621E Sage Motherboard and a pair of Intel Xeon Silver 4114 chips.

E5-2680s are $2500 a piece for me. 14 core/28 threads.

 

Xeon Silver 4114s are $1000 a piece. 10 cores/28 threads.

 

E5s x 2 28 cores ($5000/pair) vs 3647s x 2 20cores ($2000). Not sure whether the additional 8 core is worth the $3000 increase.

 

I am always cautious of eBay ex-server chips. I bought an E3 awhilst back and it was DOA. Im cautious of using the latest MB and CPUs as well. Dont want to spend a bucketload an it not work. Considering I want my setup to run quite a few things at once.

I bought a couple of chips off this seller and they were very helpful and chips were exactly as described.

These threads here and here might be worth a look.
