Which is better? Intel i7 Extreme Edition or Intel Xeon E7 Family?

Hello Forum, I am planning to build my own computer and I was wondering which processor is better, i7 extreme or Xeon E7. And by better I mainly mean performance but cooling and power usage would be good to know too!

Thanks in advance,

0	Well, based on Geekbench, the Intel Xeon E7 family faired better than the Intel i7 Extreme Edition. Go for it! Hope this helps! answered Feb 18 at 10:13 Der_Kerl 271●2●7●15

0	We'd be better able to help you if we knew which CPU from each family you were looking at, there's a quite varied range in both families. answered Feb 19 at 15:11 Tim Fontana 15.3k●135●199●368
