Question what to choose

[gvrrrntthtrterg]

I am trying to build a gaming machine should i go with 2x xeon x5675 lga 1366 or 1x i3 10105f lga 1200
and lga 1366 is ddr3 but lga1200 is ddr4 which would be better my current system is ryzen 5 5600h

Why are you limited to only those options? Out of those options, I'd stay with the 5600H.

 

[geofelt]

Xeon is not good for gaming; the single thread performance is very poor.
Your laptop 5600H is a bit stronger than the i3-10105F
For fast action gaming, what do you plan on for a graphics card?

Do you have a budget?

 

[gvrrrntthtrterg]

the reason i want those options is because i want to move from laptop to desktop and/or possibly use the desktop as a server and i have heard that dual xeons are very powerful

 

[gvrrrntthtrterg]

my budget is very low

 

[USAFRet]

and i have heard
...
my budget is very low

Stop.

Budget and actual use.
Please enlighten us on this.

 

[gvrrrntthtrterg]

200$ use gaming /server

 

[USAFRet]

200$ use gaming /server

"gaming" and "server" are two completely different things.
Or did you mean a game server?

And "$200" is applicable to neither of those.

 

[gvrrrntthtrterg]

why budget is not 200 it is more like i will buy parts slowly and i want to use it for a game server but also have it be usable for being a regular gaming computer and i want to know if an i3 10105f ddr4 or two xeons x5675 ddr3 would be better

 

[gvrrrntthtrterg]

i am also buying used parts so they are cheaper

Not so much.
The Xeon has 4 processing threads and a total passmark performance rating of 6409. Times two if you have a dual socket motherboard.
The single thread rating which most games depend on is 1479.
That does not get doubled:

By comparison, the i3-10100f also has 8 threads and a rating of 8854/2605
https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Core+i3-10100F+@+3.60GHz&id=3863

 

[gvrrrntthtrterg]

so that sound like 12818/1279 vs 8854/2605 what is better?

As always. ..... it depends.
Most games will do better with a strong single thread performance.
Unless you play multiplayer games with many participants, in that case the better multithreaded performance of the xeon setup might be better.
Me, I would pick the i3-10100 where you have better upgrade options.

 

[gvrrrntthtrterg]

i already own the xeons which is why i asked so do you think its worth going with the xeon and buying motherboard or going with i3 and buying motherboard

 

[geofelt]

I would not buy an obsolete motherboard.

Why not try to find a ryzen 3600 or similar paired with an old motherboard. For example I’m running an old AsRock ab350 pro 4. Until recently I was running a ryzen 5 3600 in it. I recently upgraded on that board from 5 years ago to a 5900x. So you could maybe pick up a b450 with a 2600 or 3600 that can be updated later.

For example
B550 board for 63

above my budget and price to performance intel does better at that price range

For a comparison of your (as I think you're asking which of your CPU's is 'best' :
https://www.cpubenchmark.net/multi_cpu.html
That's if all things are equal which of course they are not, Xeon were designed by Intel to be used in server, workstation environments. They are great chips but it's a bit like comparing a tractor to a car. Both are 'powerful' but one is designed to pull a large weight (the Xeon) and one is more designed for straight line speed (consumer CPUs)
I'd also look at the games played - not all games access the second CPU
This article is a bit bleak on dual CPUs:
https://cpuninja.com/dual-cpu-motherboard/
but again check to see if a game can work with dual CPUs

 

[gvrrrntthtrterg]

so I should probably go with the i3 or stick with my ryzen 5 right?
