Beyond the realm of gaming???!??? You must be joke. Every game work on ultra preset including the latest one.
This is beast CPU. I have it. Perfect CPU!!!
Is this system good for gaming..as some say xeon are server processors and are not good for gaming…
yes this cpu is beast but a sandy bridge-E processor or a high end Haswell i7 will most likely do better in games because of the higher clock speed. games just don't support 16 cores (8 physical 8 hyper-threaded).
53% worse,not bad at all and what if i overclocked my cpu?
na, you need an Opteron 16 core if you want to compete with this
Heh. 74% worse. Not bad. I mean, if it was possible to have 2 cpus in a single computer, i would use 2 of my cpus for $400 instead of this xeon for $2000. But im sure companies with huge amounts of money would use these.
wow the amd k6 166 MHz is 399900% less powerful than this processor!!
Can this CPU play minesweeper for more than 30 FPS?
No
This CPU is as week as a Dual Core :p
Who would spend more than $2000 for this in a personal PC?
my friend, he is a damn millionaire xP
damn, 107% better than mine :(
It is a server cpu
What if someone has Xeon E5-2690 but has a GeForce 6200. Hahaha! Rabbit and turtle?
What if the GPU is a RIVA TNT? heh
"I think it would be bottlenecked" :D :D
