Reasons to consider the
Intel Xeon E3-1230 v3

Report a correction
Is hyperthreaded Yes vs No Somewhat common; Maximizes usage of each CPU core
Newer manufacturing process 22 nms vs 32 nms A newer manufacturing process allows for a more powerful, yet cooler running processor
Much lower typical power consumption 65W vs 159.66W 2.5x lower typical power consumption
Significantly more l3 cache per core 2 MB/core vs 1 MB/core 2x more l3 cache per core
Much lower annual home energy cost 19.27 $/year vs 56.1 $/year 2.9x lower annual home energy cost
Much lower annual commercial energy cost 70.08 $/year vs 159.62 $/year 2.3x lower annual commercial energy cost
Marginally newer Apr, 2013 vs Oct, 2012 Release date 5 months later

Power Management has changed from same P-states for all cores, same core and uncore frequency to: Per-core P-States with independent uncore frequency scaling, and energy efficient turbo boost.
Xeon E3-1230 v3 | by William-Harmon (Sep, 2014)

L3 cache

The result is lower cache-to-cache transfer latencies, and reduced directory updates and reads of hotly contested lines.
Xeon E3-1230 v3 | by William-Harmon (Sep, 2014)

TDP

Nevertheless, there are certain efficiencies exploited in the new platform and the v3 version of this CPU has a lower power delta than the v2 does, even with the higher TDP.
