Sorry to say but I sold my Mac Pro when the Apple Silicon machines were released. For my workload (software/web development), they just made more sense. That CPU definitely served me well though and the machine ran cool, even in the Australian summers, with no AC. I'm not 100% sure about the story behind that model of Xeon, I think I'd read somewhere it was specially developed for Amazon for the data centres but I could be miles off so don't quote me. If you can get one though, it's definitely worth a try.Sorry to bring this up again but in an attempt to upgrade my Mac soon, I'm very curious to try the 2673. I still can't get why its spec is identical with 2667 but can have 20W of TDP lower? Is this something not been told by Intel? I know 2673 is the OEM processor and not widely available for retails sold.
How is your experience with this processor so far? Thanks in advance
