Retired Intel Xeon CPU vs i7
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.

Well it depends do you have a server room? Most of these Xeons will probably need their old motherboards with their specific sockets to work. Unless you are a porn entrepreneur or owner of sex141 and equivalent how much rendering and work up do you need?

Ever think of energy consumption? Just because it has more cores doesn't mean it's better. How many consumer applications will require that many threads? How effeciently are each of those cores running? Unless you are doing some major rendering work making a pixar movie or serving millions of people from your home computer, it's not going to be useful.
I know a dude back in the day who thought he was the man buying a matrox power vr thinking it would be sooooo great at gaming but it wasn't designed for it. $2000 video card getting worse framerates than a $600 geforce designed for gaming was laughable.
Bottom line, don't expect it to magically do what you want it to do when it was designed for something more business oriented. Efficiency is key.
