RN628X VS RN716X
Does anyone know if the new RN628X is more powerfull than the RN716
I have been looking around to grab a 716 as they come to an end but if the new 628X is more powerfull apart from having two more bays its the CPU that im interested in foir PLEX
The RN716X has an Intel Xeon Ivy Bridge E3-1265Lv2 2.5GHz (3.5GHz Turbo) Quad Core CPU with 16GB ECC RAM
RN628X has an Intel® D-1521 Quad Core 2.4GHz Xeon Server Processor with 8GB DDR4 ECC RAM
The E3-1265Lv2 uses a 22nm manufacturing process, while the D-1521 processor is much newer and uses a 14nm process. The D1521 will operate faster at a lower clock speedI would go with the RN628X.

Thank you for such a fast informative answer currently the RN716X is £2200 on Amazon UK cheapest around and the RN628X is £1548 thats almost enough to add 2 10TB drives into the new chassis
