Don't feel bad I'm looking to replace some old Dinosaur R610s with Dual Quad Core Xeon X5570s
Interesting that you mention the Xeon E5-2620 v2's as the other option would be to buy 12th generation R620s with dual high end E5-2600v2's (probably 2690/95 or 2699) which are literally half the price of the new R630s with high end chips (ie 2667/97/99)
Have to confess *not yet*. I'm told that DDR4 doesn't have a value proposition for our business at this stage and that we should wait a while more before we throw ourselves at the new Haswell-EPs. This probably applies to you guys as well? I'm probably hinting too much by saying that Intel processors aren't important determinants of our success in the space I'm in now.
It's good for now, but the rat race is tight. I'm in NYC now and talked to a few guys at JPM and it seems that they're planning to release something for their clients in Q1 '15 which defeats the purpose of our last few months of development effort to get ahead, so we're trying to get as much $ in between now and Q1.
