thanks for your answer.... but the i7 875K is not compatible with an iMac unfortunately :(

 

why do you think they produce two exactly the same CPUs ? i mean of the xeon is like the i7, why they produce them ?

i didnt realise you had a mac. the xeon will support more feature than the i7 you can compare them on intel ark. tbh i would just go with the cheaper of the 2 because they will perform the same.

Is it true that the x3480 is a single cpu for single socket motherboards?
