Xeon 1230v3 vs i74770 vs i5 4570

[downthehollow]

not looking to overclock until i get to know computers and my system better.

uses:What are my uses: recording gameplay, streaming, gaming, rendering video files, editing videos, gaming at high to very high while rendering, and gaming at 1080p for this gen games and next gen games (except the next crysis) and medium to high for the next 3 years at least.

reasons for your choices are appreciated. thanks!

There's no reason not to buy one. It's not Ram finniky or slower than an I7. It shows 8 cores in device monitor. Runs cool. Windows 8 calls it a xeon. Bios shows turbo mode supported and all the normal stuff.

the e5's are slowish and run in the tri channel memory boards with more cores..

The are all still sandy bridge i think or 1st gen I series parts.. they have not had a refresh and the speed is 2ghz + not 3 ghz + with prices in the 500+ range.. fantastic for servers not for gaming..

All v2 e5s are Ivy Bridge-E, and most are less than 6 months old. Many of them turbo up to 4.0ghz

Once you spend over 1,000 I guess you're correct

Wow those are great prices. Are they real? I never heard of the vendor. might might be a better value. New Egg and Tiger's E5 line suck.

 

[CTurbo]

Yes. As mentioned above, the Xeon e5-1620v2 is the same chip as the i7-4820k and is priced almost identically, and the Xeon e5-1650v3 is the same chip as the i7-4930k and is also price similarly.

superbiiz has been around for a long time and is a fairly reputable site. I have bought from them on several occasions.

That's because newegg and tigerdirect sell retail and those are oem. There really is no difference in the cpus other than how they are distributed.

 

[CTurbo]

Geez people the Ivy-E i7s don't come with a fan/heatsink either. The difference between the "retail" Ivy-Es and the "oem" Xeon Ivy-Es is one comes with a owners manual, and one doesn't.

That vendor has been around for quite awhile. They used to go by ewiz or something. I have ordered from them in the past.
