Testing the Intel Xeon E5 1680 v2 eight core CPU in 9 popular and demanding games in 2023, using an RTX 3070 discrete GPU.
Usually, PC components that are especially attractive to enthusiasts are available at retail for a big markup. An 8 core, 16 thread, multiplier unlocked CPU in 2013 was practically unheard of, and if it had been available on retail it could have commanded a hefty price tag. And yet, Intel never sold it to the public, instead limiting it as an OEM chip for machines like the somewhat maligned 2013 "Trashcan" Mac Pro. As this is, on paper, the best gaming CPU for the X79 socket, it's certainly worth looking at in 2023. But is it worth buying compared to the alternatives?
