Reasons to consider the
Intel Xeon E5 2637 v2

Report a correction
Much more l3 cache 15 MB vs 10 MB 50% more l3 cache; more data can be stored in the l3 cache for quick access later
Supports more RAM 786,432 MB vs 262,144 MB Supports 3x more RAM
Supports dynamic frequency scaling Yes vs No Somewhat common; Allows for maximum performance when needed, while conserving power and minimizing heat production when not needed
Much more l3 cache per core 3.75 MB/core vs 2.5 MB/core 50% more l3 cache per core
Supports more CPUs in SMP configuration 2 vs 1 Twice as many CPUs in SMP configuration
