The 14 cores are really attractive, so I’d rather not get something like a e5-1650v3 - what would be the best way to get as much single thread performance as possible?
I’m thinking:
- hyperthreading off
- using ThrottleStop to improve clock speeds
- disabling spectre & meltdown mitigations
The 2667, 2687w and 2697A have the best boost clocks of the range without hitting the uner expensive skus
