Intel Xeon E3-1230 V5 Review

PC Mark 8
PC Mark 8 has distinctly changed the way that the Futuremark offering responds to the hardware in place, as even a toaster would get 4000 odd and the Mi6 servers only 5000 or so. Once again the Xeon E3-1230 V5 matches closely with the i7-5775C.

As a 3D designer who also has a Xeon E3 1230v3 on a Z87 board I'm a bit "meh" about it due to the chipset limitations. At least with the older Xeon setups Z87/97 there was an upgrade path to an unlocked 4770/4790K if you couldnt afford them to begin with but wanted the extra threads. Now you'll have to buy a new mobo as well.
Also a £50 price increase from the previous generation (i paid £180 of my 1230v3), really Intel?
With the frankly silly prices of Skylake the 5820K still looks to be the chip of choice for me in terms of productivity gains for the extra price, pluss the benefits of X99.Quote

Did Intel fall asleep at some point? The purpose of this CPU has been lost somewhere... Price, Speed, Cores, Threads, Chipset requirements...
I'm confused? Just who is this aimed at? I think Intel need to reevaluate their logic gates
Xeons used to be a nice alternative to i5 or i7 but the E3-1230V5 seems to live in a world of its own. It's a Limbo CPU.Quote

Intel it seems simply wanted to take away the cheap Xeon from budget/consumer oriented CPU chipsets, so they created the C326 (or whatever it is called) chipset.
This move from Intel mean that consumers will need to buy a Server grade motherboard with these CPUs, making the CPUs much less attractive purchases.
If you could use these Xeon CPUs with a lower price motherboards they might be an attractive option, but right now I can easily buy Z170 boards for under £100 or less if I go for a non-overclocking socket.Quote
