Intel Core based servers are a good way to get a powerful, expandable and cost effective servers.
We’ve been building servers with Intel Core CPUs for many years. Not all customers need the functionality of Xeon CPUs and this is where an Intel Core CPU fits in nicely. The CPUs still fully support ECC RAM, which gives excellent stability. There are server based motherboards available that are fully Intel Core compatible, too.
Intel Core systems are great for a small office server, where power requirements and cost is more important than a large number of cores or compute power.
