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

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....  tongue.gif

but recently xeon 3110 price is about the same as E8400... alot of shop has been recommended xeon to replace E8400 due to super shortage of E8400

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

lol wat is that Tdiode ann that thggie?? how they work... pls explain in laymans term.. in technical terms i also know how to find in intel website la... tongue.gif tongue.gif

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

hmm that is exactly what i wanna know....

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

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?  hmm.gif

not totally the same but around the same.... market for E8400 has been pushed to high price due to its limited stock and this E3110 which is coming soon is selling at main price RM790....

acording to the review... it can still go up to 1.44v and was said "still a safe range", this means that going up to 4.5ghz wasnt a problem for extreme OCer... anyway it have lower stock VID and doesnt that means it uses lower voltage compared to E8400 and therefore product less heat due to lower voltage? Thats a good thg i tot.

nice review link given there.... hope to see more links up about it.... hehe...

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.

lol the purpose of asking in forum is to get laymans term.. googling will result technical stuffs too.. tongue.gif....

they said those supported 45nm is supporting this E3110 as well...

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...
*
no problem... alot of the shops in lowyat pushing xeon, i can remember AllIT and cycom do that.... ppl said its almost the same... but why all go E8400 and why not E3110? if they are almost the same and in same price range..... shunt xean out of stock too?? but no.. xeon do have quite some stock still in market.... while E8400 is doh.gif doh.gif whole lowyat no stocks...

wondering who can give us the answer

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  sweat.gif

lol wats that? haha dont mind to explain abit more in layman's term? hehe.....

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 rclxub.gif

somehow i dont really understand what are u trying to explain... >_<" maybe my interpretation is soo bad... doh.gif

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
*
if u say they are same.... why thier voltage range is diff.... and alot ppl saying they have diff advantages such as xeon have better file management and Core architechture is better in multimedia....
and also mention the microcode is diff.... confuse.... currently too many seller offering xeon to replace C2D E8400 demand....
