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,

Amageing

Well, based on Geekbench, the Intel Xeon E7 family faired better than the Intel i7 Extreme Edition. Go for it!

Hope this helps!

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.
