    I have a question

    http://www.cpubenchmark.net/high_end_cpus.html

    Look at the top few cpu's.

    Processor CPU Mark Price (USD)
    Intel Xeon E5-4650 @ 2.70GHz
    14,969
    $3,899.99*
    Intel Xeon E5-2687W @ 3.10GHz
    14,819
    $1,929.99

    Who pays for that top one. Which person spends 2k more for a non noticable improvement?
    Who do they make this for with those prices?

      People that want the latest and wants to brag about it. I know a few that buys those top of the line things for their gaming rig.

      Usually 40+ single men lol

          dunno, but I have 8 of these babies in my server
          Code:
          processor	: 7
vendor_id	: GenuineIntel
cpu family	: 6
model		: 45
model name	: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-1620 0 @ 3.60GHz
          with

          Code:
          MemTotal:       66013156 kB
          So, screw the 4650 when the 1620 is by far enough

          For coding work - hit me up on andy // borkedcoder // com
          (consider figuring out the email as test #1)

              Just one benchmark without details isn't enough to say that it's just a minimal increase.

                  The 1620 is a lovely CPU - those are requests per second btw...

                      What I'd like to know is what makes those processors ideal for servers. Clearly the Xeons are server processors - never see gaming rig sites selling them but see them on servers all the time. Specwise they don't look like they should perform better (and in some cases don't at least per those tests), and in general seem shitloads more expensive than top gaming rig processors - why is that so? Lower failure rate or what?
