Did you had any chance to try out the dual but without OC?
Or we just divide your previous single by 2

This is not different machines (everything is on a single i7-4771 @ 3.50 GHz), but it might be interesting to put things from another perspective:
V-Ray 3.00.08 - 5m 57s
V-Ray 3.10.01 - 4m 16s
V-Ray 3.10.01 with Embree - 3m 47s

Wow! I am really impressed. Seems like you guys are doing really good job out there
30% Speed increase for the new SP!? :o That’s insane.
WOAH! when when when???
Very nice. Next week I believe?
Yes, next week, if all goes according to plan.

Updated times with Vray 3.10.01
Embree off = 1m15s
Embree on = 1m10s
(might improve after a reboot as before, but good to see the speed-up with the service pack - well done chaps!)
Further exploration:
Embree on, bucket width 8 = 1m22s
Embree on, bucket width 32 = 1m12s
Embree on, bucket width 16, Min Shading Rate 6, LC Adaptive tracing, use for glossies, pre-filter and retrace = 0m49s
Vray 3.10.01
Dual E5-2695 V2, 64GB RAM, Quadro K4000, 2x SSD in RAID
1m19 without embree
1m12 with
So less cores but higher clockrates = the same in our case. Damn it I should’ve bought the cheaper one 
Ok I see the 2697 v2 are around 2900$CAD and 2680 v2 around 1900$CAD which is 2000$ more for a dual workstation!
I have the 2695, so I think about 1200 more yeah.
