Yes. I basically switched from a 3900x to a pair of 2667 v2s and have had a "better" dev experience moving everything virtual with vGPU.
If prices every event back out I plan to upgrade to a broadwell system or skylake if im lucky.
Im writing this on a Dell precision 7650 as well. Xeon W turbos to almost 5gzh @ 8 cores, 64gb of 3200 ecc. Brand new battery, thunderbolt 4, Quardro A4000. $600-700 on ebay right now.
Deving on a budget.
