Can this cpu work here??

[Memelord_69]

I want to put a Xeon E3 1220 V3 into a dell optiplex 2090 usff. The CPU currently in the computer is a i5 4570s.

i cant seem to find this information anywhere.

It probably can but why would you replace that cpu with an identical one? Upgrade from a 4570 to 1220 v3 makes no sense.

im making a server and the xeon is a server chip. it has a bigger cache which i believe will help but please corret me if im wrong.

they are the same socket but different generations of socket. One supports DDR3 (the old one) and one DDR4 (the new one) in short NO

Wrong. Both CPUs are haswell. Both are DDR3 only.

yeah the only difference i could find on intel is the TDP and the cache.

A "server" chip is the same as a deaktop chip for almost all use cases. A little more cache will make no difference, I guarantee it.

 

If you need more CPU power, you will either need to find a higher end chip that that motherboard supports, or you will need a platform upgrade.

Ok thanks ill just stick with the i5

The only other difference between the Core i series and the equivalent Xeon E3 is the Xeon can handle unregistered ECC RAM. 

 

The low end Precision workstations and PowerEdge servers definitely take desktop-socket Xeon E3s, so contemporary OptiPlex desktops might, but as others said you won't gain much.

 

If you want to step up your core count and RAM ceiling on a (relative) budget, you'd need to step up to an LGA2011, LGA2011-3, or LGA2066 workstation or server.

Not always...

E3 is basically desktop chip with ECC unbuffered RAM support. If you don't need much performance, many i3 also supports ECC RAM. And that is assuming the motherboard supports ECC RAM.

 

Real servers use E5 at least. E5 supports REG ECC RAM, which is dirty cheap on used market.

 

I would stay with i5 if ECC is not required. Maybe even downgrade to i3 for power saving.
