     It's a little more expensive than the older 1366 socket models I mentioned, but it's fast and has more cores (32 render threads in dual CPU setup).  It would be faster rendering than the CPUs I mentioned. 

     The one thing which concerns me is the "ES" in the description.  That's shorthand for engineering sample.    From the Intel site,

Intel Engineering Sample Processors ("Intel ES Processors"), also known as Intel Qualification Sample Processors, are pre-production processors loaned to Intel's Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), Original Device Manufacturers (ODMs), and Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) to be used in the product design cycle prior to product launch.

These processors often include additional features that production processors do not include for customer pre-production evaluation and test purposes. The following conditions apply to Intel ES Processors:

Engineering samples are often subjected to severe testing.  Might be great,  might not.

     If you get that processor (I note that they have two), get a mobo with dual 2011 sockets, quad channel memory slots. 

     The older X56** processors would take a mobo with dual 1366 sockets, triple channel memory slots.
