How to choose server processors
The socket has to match the board before anything else matters, and multi-socket systems must be populated with identical processor models. Xeon Scalable tiers (Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum) differ in core count, socket support and memory speed; the older E5 line is split by version (v2 on LGA2011, v3 and v4 on LGA2011-3). Processors ship as the bare part: heatsinks and carriers are platform specific and ordered separately.
