Intel C2D E8400 VS Intel Xeon 3110... they both basically have same clockspeed, same socket, same cache, same 45nm technology, same FSB and etc... what is the major different or significant different?

1. what are the differences(other than server & Desktop processor)?
2. which is better for desktop?
3. pls explain as much as u can...thx

Xeon: 1.225V-0.956V
C2D: 1.3625V-0.85V

Intel Xeon are server CPUs and are very reliable but more expensive..... thought to be better in terms of overclocking due to their reliability....

For normal users like us, desktop CPUs are more than enough.

Gatal hands again I see.... 

E3110
Dual Core
Enhanced Intel Speedstep(R) Technology
Intel(R) EM64T
Intel(R) I/OAT
Intel(R) Virtualization Technology
Enhanced Halt State (C1E)
Execute Disable Bit
Intel(R) Thermal Monitor 2

E8400
Dual Core
Enhanced Intel Speedstep(R) Technology
Intel(R) EM64T
Intel(R) Virtualization Technology
Enhanced Halt State (C1E)
Execute Disable Bit
Intel(R) Thermal Monitor 2

These parts have PROCHOT enabled.
These parts have THERMTRIP enabled.
These parts have PECI enabled.
These parts have Tdiode enabled
These parts have Intel(R) Trusted Execution Technology (Intel(R) TXT) enabled
These parts have Extended Stop Grant State (C2E) enabled
These parts have Extended (C4) enabled

and also adliew stated the voltage
Xeon: 1.225V-0.956V
C2D: 1.3625V-0.85V

If that Xeon 3110 so good  and certified for server purpose...
then why dont all people grab this 3110 instead of E8400 ?

Really? You mean the Xeon E3110 is the same price as it's counterpart? 

Take a look here : http://www.circuitremix.com/index.php?q=node/122

The only difference is the VID voltage range... E3110 is max at 1.225v...... from what Intel says, their warranty usually covers up to the maximum VID voltage range..... so, not that good for mild overclockers.....

Of course, extreme overclockers couldn't care less about vcore and warranties...

I'm no expert in CPUs but I guess one factor (among many factors) why the Xeon CPUs are reliable is because they operate at a lower vcore?

then u google it lor = ="
Tdiode is the temperature of the on-die thermal diode, i.e. it's the temperature sensor within the CPU itself.

Tjunction is a completely different thing altogether. Tjunction is a specification value, of the temperature of the die/pcb junction at which the CPU will go into thermal shutdown. Usually Tjunction is 85 or 100 degrees celcius. Processors provide the delta value of the current junction temperature to Tjunction. Using this you can calculate the current junction temperature if you know Tjunction.

i think server processor more stable??? but not highly overclocked..@@
and then how bout the m/b ...many not stated support xeon proc.

I also have the same problem (sorry for hijacking your thread).
The sales guy at low yat is pushing me to get the xeon processor for my new pc. the benchmark they showed me seems impresive but just wanna get some more feedback from you guys before i jump on it...

I will checkout which have a good FPO.Hope can get Q746A/Q743A on Xeon but hwbot point not much when compare to insane E8400

DUH???

quite hard to understand " ur statement"  . from what i understand...

it suppose to be the same processor, with the same built, requirement is the same, but then again try it for your self to be sure.....

FPO=batch and manufacturing batch
hwbot=oc database
E8400 even no 100 also have 4points while E3110 not even 100 entries and the point is not much with 9.5's like that,2points to 4points

I think they are almost the same just with different branding...
The lower end Xeons are also running on the Core 2 architecture
Only the higher ends one use diff sockets and have diff features(Correct me if I am wrong)

Basically C2Ds are meant to be sold to desktop users and Xeons in servers, something like that

The Xeon brand refers to many families of Intel's x86 multiprocessing CPUs - for dual-processor (DP) and multi-processor (MP) configuration on a single motherboard targeted at non-consumer markets of server and workstation computers, and also at blade servers and embedded systems. The Xeon brand has been maintained over several generations of x86 and x86-64 processors. Older models added the Xeon moniker to the end of the name of their corresponding desktop processor, but more recent models used the name Xeon on its own. The Xeon CPUs generally have more cache than their desktop counterparts in addition to multiprocessing capabilities. Intel's (non-x86) IA-64 processors are called Itanium, not Xeon.

3000-series "Conroe"

The 3000 series, codenamed Conroe (product code 80557) dual-core Xeon (branded) CPU,[4] released at the end of September 2006, was just rebranded version of the Intel's mainstream Conroe otherwise branded as Core 2 Duo (for consumer desktops). Unlike most Xeon processors, they only support single-CPU operation. They use Socket T (LGA775), operate on a 1066 MHz front-side bus, and do not support Hyper-Threading. Processors with a number ending in "5" have a 1333 MT/s FSB.[5]
