: Supports single and dual-socket configurations for Xeon E5-1600/2600 v3 (Haswell-EP) and v4 (Broadwell-EP). intel c612 chipset 2021
The C622 didn't offer PCIe 4.0. That came later with Ice Lake (C621A). So, for PCIe 3.0 applications, the C612 is functionally similar to the "Scalable" platform at 1/4th the price. Then came the power blip
While these CPUs lack the single-core speed of modern Zen 3 or Alder Lake architectures, they excel in multi-threaded workloads. For video transcoding (Plex/Jellyfin), compiling code, or running multiple virtual machines (Proxmox/ESXi), the C612 platform is unbeatable value. for PCIe 3.0 applications
