Hopefully this one isn't the standard. I've got a Xeon laying around and I should be using it, rather than having two separate PCs I am considering using it on my gaming computer. Unfortunately, there isn't any information about the e5-2695v3 related to gaming benchmarks. I'm hoping that someone has some insight.
My current processor is a i5-3570k overclocked to 4.4 GHz and it is paired with a GTX1080. I've had a Xeon E5-2695 v3 (2.3 GHz 14 cores) sitting in the package for the past year. I know that it isn't advisable to buy a Xeon for games, but my i5 is long in the tooth. Since I have this Xeon sitting around, does anyone have an idea how it would compare to things like games that may not utilize the extra threads. I'm thinking that the 35 MB of cache may go a ways to make up for the clock speed. The Xeon is supposed to hit 3.8 GHz in turbo mode.
I would just need to pick up a motherboard and RAM.
