not really .. the xeon cpu's are made for servers and workstation so they serve separate purposes ..the xeon is designed to run for extended periods of time without overheating while the i7 can get too hot if constantly being used... here is a senario .. a i7 will be faster than an xeon in a game but the xeon will be relatively faster compressing a file .. hope you understand

According to Intel's specifications page, they are old and out of production compared to the newer i7s. The i7 will win hands down since those Xeons are only dual cores.
Those Xeons also eat more power than today's i7s. i7s nowdays have 4 cores with hyperthreading resulting in 8 threads which is plenty powerful for anything.

Basically,
+1 The Dualshock (strange name) and jbrown156

I wanna add,
E3-1231V3 is quite popular here where I live among gamers who do not plan to OC and will not use iGPU.
E3-1231V3 is about equal to i7 4790 without the iGPU and has about the same price as an i5 4690k.
Only E3-1231V3 is interesting due to the price.
