Which one of these cpu's are good?: Xeon E3-1230V3 vs E3-1245V3 vs E3-1230V3 vs E3-1220V3 vsE3-1275V3 vs i7 4770k Processor

Hello

What is the difference between these Xeon and i7 cpu's? The Xeon E3-1230V3 vs Xeon E3-1245V3 vs Xeon E3-1230V3 vs Xeon E3-1220V3 vs Xeon E3-1275V3 Processor vs i7 4770k

Are the Xeon better than the i7 4770K? I will use the cpu for gaming, 3D design, rendering, graphic design and video editing.

Xeon CPU's are generally for workstations or enterprise environments and are not meant for gaming. i7's are better at this, but still very overkill; an i5-4670K will be more than enough power unless you know for sure that what you're going to be doing is so CPU intensive that you need hyper-threading and the extra speed.

UltimateBawb :

E3 Xeon's are intended for workstations but will perform exactly the same of an i7 of the same clock speed an architecture. For example, a Xeon 1230v3 will perform almost identically to an i7 4770, a little slower because it has a lower clockspeed. They are absolutely intended for gaming, they have no deficit compared to the i7's.

The only real difference is that they don't have an integrated GPU which gets disabled when using a dedicated GPU anyway. The Xeons ending in 5 do have integrated GPUs. However the Xeons have a completely locked clock speed (disregarding BLCK overclocking).

I see the i5 4670k getting left behind a few years before its i7 counterparts.

OP - The difference between the CPUs you have selected is very minimal. The i7 4770k would be the best choice because it has the highest stock clock speed, and is also unlocked so it can be overclocked for more speed (if you wish to do this, aftermarket cooling and a Z series motherboard are a must). The Xeon 1230v3 will perform very similarly to an i7 4770, and the Xeon 1245v3 will perform almost identically. The difference between them might be 1 FPS.

TL;DR - The i7 4770k would be the best choice.

1230 V3 4 core hyperthreading no IGP, 1245 V3 higher clock and IGP, 1275 V3 the same even higher clock, all three equal to I7
1220 4 core no hyperthreading no IGP, basically a I5
All have locked multiplier and will not overclock like I7 4770K

All of the e3 Xeons are rebadged i7s except for the 1220 and 1225 which are rebadged i5s.

The e3 Xeons ARE great for gaming.

The 1230v3, 1240v3, 1245v3, 1270v3, 1275v3, i7-4770, i7-4771, and i7-4770k are all variations of the EXACT same chip.
The i7s and the e3s ending in '5' all have integrated graphics, the e3s ending in '0' do not. The Xeons have a few more instruction sets the i7s don't. The i7-4770k is the only one that can be overclocked.
The only other difference is clock speed and TDP.

The 1230v3 is rated @ 3.3/3.7ghz and is 80w
The 1240v3 is rated @ 3.4/3.8ghz and is 80w
The 1245v3 is rated @ 3.4/3.8ghz and is 84w
The 1270v3 is rated @ 3.5/3.9ghz and is 80w
The 1275v3 is rated @ 3.5/3.9ghz and is 84w
The i7-4770 is rated @ 3.4/3.9ghz and is 84w
The i7-4771 is rated @ 3.5/3.9ghz and is 84w
The i7-4770k is rated @ 3.5/3.9ghz and is 84w

The important thing is they are all essentially the same. Xeons are not just for servers. They can use the same LGA1150 motherboards i3s, i5s, and i7s use. The are great for gaming, rendering, editing, graphic design and everything else. The e3-1230v3 in particular is an awesome deal since it is so much cheaper than the i7-4770. That's why you see many of us constantly recommending it on here for people who don't wish to overclock.

One more thing to remember, the e3-12xxv3 are all Haswell and use the LGA1150 socket. The e3-12xxv2 are all Ivy Bridge and use the LGA1155 socket. And then the regular e3-12xx are older Sandy bridge and also use the LGA1155 socket.

CTurbo :

I just has to disassemble a recent build. I replaced the motherboard with the same exact model, and still had an issue with stability. It would restart, but in a way that caused it to open wiht the notification that windows did not shut down correctly. It looked like a momentary lapse of power, if I had to describe it.

I also was wary of the power supply. I wondered if anything related to making a PSU more efficient might make it have something that could cause the processor to have a split-second loss of an operable range.

The parts were as follows:

Intel Xeon 1245 V3
Asus H87m-PRO
Patriot Viper Extreme 16GB (2x8)
Seasonic G-Series 360w
Crucial M500 120GB SSD
Win7Pro

Do you have any experience with something like this?

Those a very good reliable parts. My first thought is it's probably a software issue. How are your temps? Is the heatsink installed correctly?
