Xeon E5-4620 Vs Xeon X5675 Vs 2670? for Crunch.

But I would like to know power consumption at full load

You asked if somebody had one....yes one of US have one

Power consumption shouldn't be viewed too competitively as we've used very different systems, but the E5-2670 drew roughly the same amount of power as our EVGA SR-2 system using two X5680s.

Edit: Keep in mind these figures are dual CPU setups for all except the 990X. In all seriousness, it's pretty good for an SB-EP CPU IMHO, judging from the numbers.

I was thinking dual cpu too but 395W it's a bit too much for a 2.6GHz, the dual X5675 use 300W at 3.3GHz.

The 2670 has a 3.3Ghz boost probably has a better IPC and has more cores. For crunching, the 2670 is going to get you more than the X5675. I would expect the two to be about the same clock for clock in single-threaded situations despite the slightly different clocks but, those extra cores is what's going to make it faster for crunching.

Read the rest of the review and I think you'll see that when those cores are used, the 2670s practically eats the X5680s alive and it takes overclocking over 4Ghz and doubling power consumption to get them on the same level.

Simply put, the 2670 is going to give you more for crunching than old tech is going to.

Now that everything is clear between 5675 and 2670 my next question is: will the 2670 beat the 4620?

As you now the 4620 has 8 cores and it's a 95W against the 2670 115W and it's a 8 cores too.

The 2670 clocks higher and they're the same architecture. I would say that the 2670 is faster but, the 4620 is more scalable since it supports up to 4p systems whereas the 2670 only supports 2p. I don't think that matters in your case though so, I would say that the 2670 would be the faster option although eats more power. There is a 95-watt variant that still clocks higher as well if you want to hold on to the 95-watt TDP.
