andy_s

even amazon says, when looking for this model number, that it was first sold in may 2014

andy_s

after all, it is old DDR3

andy_s

andy_s

andy_s

DDR5 for system RAM is a thing for several months already

jannik44

jannik44

andy_s

Mhm

andy_s

Why 3647 tho

andy_s

Crypto is dead

jannik44

and i found a few more or less cheap xeon silvers

andy_s

Not really

andy_s

3647 can be found only in very few boards and was never sold as mainboard only, only prebuilt system.

jannik44

oh really? wich socket is everyone using then?

andy_s

nowadays? AM5 or 1700

andy_s

on desktops

jannik44

i use serverstuff only 😄

jannik44

so what are the current Xeon sockets 🤔

andy_s

LGA4677 then

andy_s

Yes, it has DDR5. any questions?

andy_s


andy_s

works for me

andy_s

because i didn't send you link to a shop.

andy_s

i sent you link to manufacturer's website with specs & drivers etc

andy_s

you do not buy GPU from nvidia.com either

andy_s

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

jannik44

so are there new sockets on ebay?

jannik44

because the 4677 isnt

andy_s

ofcourse.

andy_s

andy_s

who in the sane mind would buy brand new system, only to dump it on ebay?

andy_s

no idea
