There's a reason i7 and Xeon are marketed for different goals by Intel, you know  |
You are wrong as most Mac heads are! My DDR3 Ram is 1333MHz ECC
The Xeon has only 1 die level of cache one level of L3! The i7 has four levels, two levels L2 and two levels L3 cache.
By having four levels of cahe, it increases your bandwidth. Like having four Ferrari's doing 250mph instead of just one.
A Xeon is primarly used for servers. Not rendering and multi tasking heavy applications
So when coming at me with specs and tasks, get ready. I know my shit!
I knew a mac head would come at me with ECC bullshit! After RD ram was discontinued, all RAM is now ECC, they just dont advertise it anymore.
