Xeon E3 1275 V3

Go to solution Solved by ray946,

Did someone important make a video about Xeon CPU's that I don't know about....?

 

Firstly, any current Xeon is not overclockable. There have been reports about some people being able to bypass this restriction on some of the older Xeons, but whether you believe that or not is entirely up to you. The Xeon is meant for professional use. As such it doesn't have as many consumer grade features that the i5 has, such as things like WiDi which is a wireless display technology. Instead it focuses heavily on being validated for 24/7 usage without failure, which is one of the reasons why Xeons are not overclockable. The Xeon you chose to look at is more comparable to an i7 than an i5 as the Xeon has the 4 core/8 thread setup that the i7 has, but again the Xeon does not have as many consumer grade features. It really isn't meant for people to use outside of the workplace although it is more than capable in things such as gaming for instance. However, if you're intent is to game, do not get the Xeon. It will perform worse than the i5 4670K at this stage with current game optimisations as they are. The i5 is also roughly $100 cheaper

thanks for you help i understand what xeon is now thanks again

to add to this, some people say that if you want an i7 without o/c abilities, the xeon can make do..

EDIT - this is because it may be a bit cheaper depending on prices in your area/region -
