Thanks a lot

Whats the difference between this CPU and corei7 ?

AMD Radeon · May 16, 2014

as i stated, it is indeed i7, but because the integrated gpu is stripped down, it is branded as xeon
mostly used as consumer grade workstation CPU

datisdesign · May 16, 2014

AMD Radeon :

so in future I cant upgrade it to i7, because its lga1150, isn't better to get core i5 instead of this ?

AMD Radeon · May 16, 2014

i5 is for gaming. adobe products utilize hyperthreading, thus i7 win
yes you can upgrade to i7, but why....
