I put this CPU into an ASUS PRO WS W790E-SAGE (which replaced my ASUS AMD AM4 PRO WS X570-ACE ATX) workstation motherboard and it is blazing fast already with 16 cores, at the bottom-of-the-line: I can't imagine what the W7-3445 (20 cores), W7-3455 (24 cores), W7-3465 (28 cores), W9-3475 (36 cores) or W9-3495 (56 cores) can do. You need a 3 thousand series (ie Wx-3xxx) Xeon CPU to take advantage of many thing this motherboard offers, e.g. the three M.2 slots for example, and other things that the Asus Pro W790E-SAGE motherboard offers. This CPU fills that bill, allowing the buyer to take full advantage of the Asus W790E motherboard features.
Needed an efficient CPU for my new home server build. Integrated graphics handles all of my needs. Operates boosted to well over 4 GHz most of the time and runs cool.
