One thing to note: These Xeons have quad memory channels, that usually means double the bandwidth of an equivalent desktop CPU, if you populate all the slots.

I have a dual E5-2667 v2 server with 512GB DDR3 and it's quite nice, the memory bandwidth is higher than of a DDR4 desktop with a way newer CPU, even though it's ECC and registered.
