Intel Xeon E3-1271V3 8M Cache, 3.60 GHz SR1R3 Processor

Aug 05, 2020

Excellent upgrade for LGA1150 motherboards.

I've owned my LGA1150 motherboard (Z97-A chipset) for about five years now. At the time of purchase, I was not willing to stretch the budget beyond the cost of Core i5. Over the years, I've slowly made upgrades to the system with NVMe storage, additional USB 3.0 ports via PCIe, and a fairly recent mid/upper tier graphics card. The system has always performed admirably, both for workstation & gaming tasks. However, recent trends are driving manufacturers (Intel & AMD) towards higher core count processors. Today's software is beginning to reflect this trend, taking advantage of additional threads and offering faster performance. While Intel's hyperthreading is not the same as a true increase in core count, it does offer 10% to 40% more performance in situations that can utilize it. Modern AAA game titles especially are beginning to show this need. Intel's Xeon E3-1271 v3 runs at the same clock speed as the Core i7-4790. It is faster than any stock clocked i5 on the platform. It is much less expensive than comparable i7 processors. Only the Xeon E3-128x v3 processors clock higher, and of course the Core i7-4790k. But, that 4790k will cost you double what you pay for the E3-1271 v3. Is that worth the price? Not in my opinion. This CPU represents a very good value for anyone still running an LGA1150 motherboard with a compatible chipset. It is within the top three fastest processors I can put into this board. I fully expect my upgrade will continue to keep my PC running for the near future, and avoid the expense of a whole system replacement (CPU, motherboard, DDR4 memory). I'm very pleased with the results, and highly recommend the Xeon E3-1271 v3.
