What is a Xeon CPU that is equivalent to the 4790k in gaming performance and is cheaper?

 

[Goodman2265]

none that i know of

[DarkBlade2117]

Xeon 1231v3 or 1241v3

[niofalpha]

1231 v3 or 1245 v3 if you want an iGPU.

Xeon 1231v3 or 1241v3

What is the difference?????

Well, a oc i5 4690k gets very close...but it aint no xeon

1231v3 or 1241v3. Same thing, except the 1241 has a higher clock speed. 

[Oshino Shinobu]

What is the difference?????

Clock speed. The 1241 is slightly faster.

Ok, so will it perform well in games (like the 4790k) and will it do better then the current FX 8350 that I have (4.8 GHz)

The CPUs mentioned are not equal to the 4790. The 4790 has a base clock of 4GHz and a turbo frequency of 4.4GHz, while the E3-1241 v3 for example has a base clock of 3.5GHz and a turbo frequency of 3.9GHz.

Basically anything Intel that like a i5 or higher kills FX 8350 (Maybe not everything but alot of thing)

The 4790K is slightly better all round, but the GPU is still going to be the limiting factor in games with the 1241 or 1231. Both will do better than the 8350 in games and multithreaded applications.

Ok thanks

It's like a 4770K, right?

In games, sure. But an 8350 will still outperform a lot, if not all i5s in programs that use multiple cores/threads well.

Compiling video?

The 4790K can only go to 4.0GHz on every core, but up to 4.4GHz on one core. (4.4GHz on every core with the stock cooler would cause major problems)

[Godlygamer23]

The Xeon 1231v3 is.

For video the 8350 is going to beat the i5 but not the i7 or Xeon.

Yes, that's what the max turbo frequency refers to.

Thats not true, if you through a i3 at the FX 8350 it will die too

[Oshino Shinobu]

Both the Xeons will do better for compiling videos than the 8350. 

[connorpiper]

Yes, that's what the max turbo frequency refers to.

 

The Xeon can turbo with every core though. Or go past the max turbo on one core like some Mobile CPUs. 

Which they don't list on ARK because they don't want to get sued.

Xeon does better, 8350 is good in multi-core task but thats when Xeons start to take the lead
