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 speed

 

I 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
