im looking into these cpus and dont know what to buy.

 

i know the xeon need a different chip set so don't say anything about that.

I guess it depends on what you want to do.. if you're just gaming I'd go with the i5.

[Kobathor]

In some work loads, the Xeon is better. In other work loads, the i5 will be better.

 

You won't notice much of a difference in most games, but some games (like Fallout 4) really benefit from hyper-threading, which the Xeon has. Personally, I would choose the Xeon, but the i5 is on the newer platform- and you can upgrade to an unlocked i7 down the road.

well what are you gonna use the computer for? that would make a big difference in my suggestion

[TopDollar]

Different tools for different jobs. What is the scope of the build? Xeons are mostly used for more workstation/commercial uses. Less so for consumer grade applications.

It depends on what you're going to do

[Tmt97]

personally I'd go with the xeon for the hyperthreading, but thats based on what I would be doing with it if it were me...

Well I'd say the i5 if it were purely for gaming, but I'm not entirely sure what you need for streaming tbh. Maybe someone smarter than me could say if the advantages of the xeon would help with streaming at all.
