Does it have any heating issue?
I've recently bought one of these Xeons and to my surprise it actually runs cooler than my previous i3. Some of that was down to the new thermal paste but also, Xeons are the highest grade bin Intel can make, so they are more energy efficient compared to regular desktop CPUs.

try looking for a 4c/8t xeon on ebay, much cheaper with the same performance though you wont get an iGPU.

Heh, I'm using that in my system currently, I think i paid like 4k for it on aliexpress 2 years back? Still working great. Wonder what the price of it will be now though, and on top of that there might be shipping problems

The price is about the same. Ali wont ship to India but ebay has no such problems, it takes a month or two though.

✌️
some xeon models don't have integrated graphics so you need a gpu for a display, watch out for that.
