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.

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

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?
