nevermind, I'm being totally stupid today, I think it's coz I'm over excited for this project I have in my mind, I can't even think straight, the 12 core has a turbo frequency of 2.9 GHz I'm definitely taking this one as no other cpu will give me this much horsepower at this price range (don't factor in the cost of the mobo as it doesn't count in my case >_<).

Cheapest is a Xeon 6 core, but it only runs at 1.6ghz. The broadwell-e runs at 1.7ghz.

thought I'd give you an update, I purchased this for now, it boosts up to 3.2 GHz. 8c 16t so it should be good. I'm buying the 12 core later on this month as there's still some stock left and I need to fill both my motherboards anyhow, I thought "heck I was gonna spend $ 650 on an i7 anyhow I might as well save a crapload of cash and buy these xeons for fun" it's just to not waste the motherboards anyway since I already have an i7 4790k I don't need a better main rig just yet.
