i know there are speed limits of "all core turbo" and you are right, 2697v3 stays ar 3.1GHz on all cores, this one 2680v4 stays at 2.9GHz all cores.Most of those high core count chips go down close to base clock under all core load. A higher TDP let's them stay there a bit better under an avx type workload that will hit that TDP and then throttle down further. If your software can use a ton of cores fantastic, otherwise chips like a 2643,2667 which have fewer cores (still get to run double) but have a higher base clock with pretty respectable turbo speeds work better. Myself not having much real experience with professional software have only used things that can take advantage of about 10 cores max.
right about the "less cores, higher clock" but i always wanted a bunch of cores

and after effects used all of them.
so i am hoping it will use all of them for both CPUs.
what's done is done so... we can just wait and watch to see what happens.
then again .. i can always sell those and get other ones.
