[SOLVED] Xeon Quad Core X5672 or Xeon Hexa Core X5675

[xagyg]

I have a choice between an X5672 or X5675. It's for gaming. Any recommendations.

The single thread performance between both is pretty similar and I think you would gain more from the extra cores. There are higher clocked xeons too and also the workstation version which is a capable overclocker:
