It seems many countries are recycling their retired server parts and ship to China, I see Intel E5 2670 is going for around $200cdn with some Chinese brand X79 board, E2683v3 for $300cdn and so on, all listed on taobao.com which they call it "foreign garbage". Many build threads going on lately, some run 7/24 for a year using junk parts without any hardware issue.

Performance wise, no question those 3-4yrs old E5 cpus will kick skylake i7 ass. 14cores just can't beat 4cores, even if I build one just for video editting would not be too expensive with cheap parts lol. Never use something more than 4 cores in my life, I wonder having 14cores will be day and night experience in video application?

lol, this is 18core cpu looks like, quite amazing.
