Both of these Intel processors are special bespoke models that are not in the Intel ARK database. The slightly newer Intel Xeon E5-26xx v4 (Broadwell) series which was introduced in Q1 of 2016, increased that to 2400MHz. I wrote about using CPU-Z to benchmark the Intel Xeon E5-2673 v3 processor in an Azure VM in this article.

Only teams that master their systems can make intentional trade-offs. Panglossian nonsense. --> Organisations that serve their tools tread water no matter how advanced their technology, while groups that intentionally manage systems can succeed on any stack. [1]. Performance isn't a binary and there are no silver bullets.
