Which has Better performance? i7 4790S or Xeon E3 1230 V3?

[Shift_]

I'm building a new system, trying to go low on a budget, the Xeon is approx $65 AUD cheaper than the 4790S....but the 4790S can turbo to 4 ghz where the Xeon is only up to 3.7ghz where the base rate is 3.2ghz for the i7 and 3.3ghz for the Xeon...

My question is which one would have better overall cpu performance? I'm leaning towards the xeon based on price, but as I'd like to run everything off a pico psu + a 750ti...potentially the 4790s is worth the price, and might have better performance due to the higher turbo

The Xeon is slightly faster. Maximum turbo speed is only achieved when a single core is active, in which case the Xeon is still probably faster.

couldnt his mobo sport mtc / multi core turbo? Thad'd give the edge to the S i'd think.

If the motherboard supports that, it might be the same speed or slightly faster. But not $65 faster.
