Let me rephrase ....

Each one is a quad-core , .....so, in a desktop system you can have one Qx6700(4) and in a server environment you can have two 53xx Xeons(8). There's not a situation where you can have two Kentsfields (6700's) running together. ...at least not to my knowledge.

One is not faster than the other, ....essentially it's the same chip, ..just packaged differently for marketing sector purposes.

Practically speaking though, ....a pair of 2.66 Xeon's (8 cores) on a server board is faster than a single 4 core QX6700 in a desktop sytem ------ but, not by much ... , especially considering the cost difference between machines.

Check the top of the 1st page and you can see how the 4cores stack up against the 8 cores. They're right there in terms of performance with MW or any multi-threaded app --- mostly just rendering and video encoding.

Also: Very curious how all procs will affect the speedtest with 1.2. ...should be interesting. I'm sure they already know, ...but everyone's got laryngitis.

Can someone explain the choice between Xeon and qx6700?

I'd appreciate it!

if you plan to overclock your system you should consider to buy a xeon these days (quad or dual). they have the same socket and run on the same boards as the e's and q's. the newer conroes (~ after week 29-30) seem to clock worse - don't know if it's the same for the quads.
but the xeons seem to be more selected - have better chips on it.
don't know if the reason is, that all better chips go to the quadcores these days or if intel has lowered it's conditions.

ivox3. my boxx arrived and i thought i would do the test too


CPU: Dual Quad-Core Xeon X5345 2.33 GHz
Cores: 8
RAM: 4 GB
OS: XP64
Time: 24.08
Bench: 274.02

now im happy

i'm curious to see the first maxwell benchmark with the new Xeon X5365 aboard the new octocore Mac, guess it should fall below the 20 minutes mark...

[ivox3]

hey Dave ...... yep that's my machine.

Nice nice nice ... ,but how you gonna go and clip me by a minute ?

So you were like Mr. Prolific renderer before ....... I don't think I'll ever be able to check your gallery again ----- it'll take ages to load ( as if it doesn't now).

Gheez ...... one would hope.

[dd_]

i think its cause i have a fresh machine with only 4 apps on it i was trying to get into the top slot

[ivox3]

But that would upset the natural order ..... 2.33's aren't and shouldn't be faster than 2.66's ..... If they were, ..I think everyone would have a group mind melt. Leave it alone .... #2 is good.

/me unbolts the flux capacitor from his new machine

ok ok i see your point

[ivox3]

Yours came with a flux capacitor ? ...you suck.

[dd_]

no i bought one from overclockers for my PIII and thought i would try to do the same on my new machine, but never mind. bad idea with the mind melting stuff and all. i cant see us staying up top for long anyway

[ivox3]

That's fine ..... just as long as technology doesn't put me firmly on the bottom tomorrow !

But that "tomorrow" is coming ...... I know. ....hehehe

the rise and fall of idols ...

You can see it in the benchwell site.

At first, I added X5365 on the entry but he renamed it with koufax xeon. hehehe.

Be careful, Pokey's homemade AKxZ processor is out of existence.

[deadalvs]

i don't get that website...

hmmm...

[ivox3]

Cool ..... Pokey's still top dog. 3s is gonna be hard to beat. hehe .
