which intel i7 cpu is equal to a xeon W3565 cpu

[Kaitlin Kaschak459]

ok so i scored a xeon W3565 for 30$ used and im wondering which i7 cpu is the same i ask this because i know some xeon cpus were basically variants of the i7 cpu so im curious which i7 is the variant of this cpu i was thinking the i7 960

 

[Gingerbread]

Pretty much the same power as an i7-960 and i5-3340 (or amd FX-8100 if you wonder).

It's identical to an i7 960

- http://ark.intel.com/products/39721/Intel-Xeon-Processor-W3565-8M-Cache-3_20-GHz-4_80-GTs-Intel-QPI

That's not the same as an i5 3340 though. OP & Gingerbread was spot on with CPU 1 (they are actually the identical die), but the i5 3340 is an Ivy Bridge processor, different architecture and will perform quite differently.

FYI you can OC those Xeons if you wanted to squeeze a bit more out of it.

i cant overclock the cpu because its going in an HP Z400 workstation and hp disabled the over clock features in there bios

Doesn't matter, still a great CPU. Worth even $100 and you got it for 30.

Yeah, I agree, it's still a decently capable processor and definitely good value for money at a miserly $30.

You can see in the hierarchy chart that Toms have put the i7 960 down in just the third tier, which is still solid: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/cpu-hierarchy,4312.html
