Hello and happy new year to everyone!
So lately I've been wondering- why aren't Xeon processors good for gaming? Let's take for example the E3-1230v2. Basically an i5-2500k on steroids. Yet it doesn't perform anywhere near the i5 in games. Why is that? I know that Xeon are meant to be used in server PCs and for heavy calculations/ editing. But what makes it so that they have all this processing power and can't use it properly in gaming scenarios? Architecture? If anyone could shed some light on this I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.
