XEON E vs W SERIES

[MobiIII]

WHICH ONE IS GOOD FOR GAMING XEON W3540 OR E5520 ? ALSO WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THESE SERIES OF XEON ....WHICH SERIES IS ADVANCED ?

They are both the same age and generation of Xeon. The W3540 is a higher clock speed and higher wattage CPU. Either of them would be beaten easily by a current generation i5.
