What difference could one except between:
2 systems both with 980 sli and best memory available.
One with the best dual Xeon cpu's and one with an i7 extreme.


Would the Xeon be able to produce more frames per sec than the i7 extreme in games?
1080p & 4k?

I know that most games would never utilize the full power of xeon.

You'll run into cpu limitations with the I7 5960x a bit faster than with two 32 thread xeons. It will require about twenty gtx 980's to get to the point of being cpu bottlenecked, but whatever.

Baseline: With all and any available gpu configurations including 3 oc'ed 980gtx's or two oc'ed r9 295x2's, an I5 4690k @4.0ghz will perform the same as anything above.

There's an Xeon with 3.7 Ghz, Sure that 2 of these wouldn't outperform an i7 in any game?

most likely not due to the fact that games today use 2-4 cores Max. if your extreme future proofing 5-10 years minimum, then the dual xeon will be better.

edit: gaming performance is more based on the GPU :)

Yes ofc i know that, and i know which gpus to buy.

Hehe in 5 to 10 years, we will laugh at the hardware we got to do.
Not even the best undeveloped idea of a crazy fast and strong cpu will be any good in 5 years.

That's the answer i was looking for thanks :p

Though I think the i7 will give me a few more fps over an 4690k
