New render node with Xeon E5 2650L

[Txamo]

Hello, is my first post here to ask you for advice, I want to ride a node to render and I have a workstation i7 5960X, I have seen this option that I found interesting by price and consumption have read several reviews and gives a great punctuation in CINEBENCH 2433, the price is really competitive (865 dollar) but in the amazon sale announcement appears as HP Intel Xeon E5-2650L v3, there is a problem because it is HP ?? You know if there is a problem by asking Spain from amazon?
I thought in 2640 v3 but multi-thread performance result is worse and consume more and more expensive.

There is no "HP" version, they simply labeled the offer as such. (although needlessly confusing).

I am quite confused as to why it's labeled as "processor upgrade", instead of clear description of what is actually being sold.

But yes, if you can get it under such price (<900 dollars per piece), it's quite good deal for node. You would need two of them to make it worthwhile.

Hello Juraj, thank you very much for your answer, I tried via amazon to contact the seller but still has not answered, I imagine that the product is new because it says nothing but what surprises me is that in especificicaciones product says

Compatibility: HP DL380
Is not this a bit weird? not if it is incompatible with other motherboards ... I'm a little lost because not answer my messages

[Juraj]

Yeah it's bit weird, since the chip actually costs twice that amount.

It almost looks like some automatic transfer from their website, where you can configure workstations, which start with some low-end Xeon like 2620, and you can pay the difference to get higher chip.
The upgrade makes it sounds like that difference. But it could be not.

Juraj Thanks for your time, to end the announcement was a lie and call amazon and the announcement was wrong, its price was 2000 dollars, in the end found a seller on ebay and sold E5 2699 v3 18 cores, new for 1500 dollars each and I bought two, made me a discount and I have taken both for 2800 dollars, I arrived today, I talked to him on skype and all very seriously, has given me a guarantee with and if something happens to me processor change them by others.
When I arrive tomorrow to give my evidence makes recension and seller.

Juraj thank you very much, greetings.

That's quite good price ! I presume they are Engineering Samples perhaps ? In any way, hope they will work fine, keep me updated :- )
