I have a Xeon X5647 and an X5680. Currently I have the X5647 installed. I am considering upgrading to X5680 but I notice that although CPU Boss generally rates the X5680 better, the single core performance of the X5647 is better (probably due to more L3 cache). Also, the X5680 is about a year older than the X5657. Is changing to X5680 an upgrade?
