Hi
I am about to buy a used Dell R640 tomorrow. I am thinking about buying two Intel 8275CL SRFA9 that seems to be in an OK price right now.
Am I stupid, should I go with two 16 core Intel Xeon instead? Do I dear to buy refurbished/used CPUs on Ebay?
I am located in the EU (Sweden)
A small update, it might not be compatible. If anyone got any experience let me know.
The server is offered with Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors and this is a 2nd Generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors. Not sure if it’s forward compatible but if anyone have any info let me know.
No idea. You can search and see if dell ever sold them natively? Even then it isn’t a guarantee
A small update.
Cascade Lake works with R640, up to 8280. I am tempted to give it a try 
I did’t dare.
The server support up to 205W per CPU but these run at 240W.
Some Asrock motherboard support them.
