LGA 2011-3v CPU

[ELT]

Good day!
I have questions about CPU lga 2011-v3.

I have checked its performance rating and saw:

On the 18th place: Intel Xeon E5-2697 v3 (117USD)
On the 27th place: Intel Xeon E5-2690 v3 (125USD)

On the 37th place: Intel Core i7-6900K (160USD)

As you can see, the higher rating has CPU the lower price it has. 

So, can you tell me a couple things:

1) Do these three CPUs have the correct performance (to each other)?

2) Why the higher rating has the lower price for these CPUs?

3) I can't find many other CPU lga 2011-v3 can you advise me shop where I can find: 

Intel Xeon E5-2697A v4
Intel Xeon E5-2699A v4
And some other CPUs new conditions.
Maybe I can order it from manufactery or store etc directly?

4) Tell me please, is it not a problem to buy CPU now which was manufactured in 2014-2016, even if it is new condition?

5) Tell me please, is this principally to buy in a box (in what different between in box or not in box) and why it is hard to find it? And maybe you can advise me site where I can find it?

6) Advise me which LGA 2011-v3 CPU in 2023 will be good solution for render process (not for games). I don't want to change my cool motherboard and buy LGA 1700, that is why I would like to find good processor among old versions LGA 2011-v3.
