I don't know how I ended up on this page :  http://www.dell.com/us/business/p/deals?~ck=mn#!dlpgid=poweredge-tower-server-deals  Probably because I am always looking for deals.

That is what prompted my question about i3/i5/i7 vs Intel Xeon.

I was looking at the PowerEdge T110 II Tower Server which is selling for $369.00.  I was thinking it would be nice to upgrade this to 16GB and add a couple HD's to it (that I can get off new egg) and configure as RAID 1.  Add a couple inexpensive video cards and potentially drive 4 flat screens.  The CPU Intel Xeon E3-1230 v2 is smoken' hot!!  4 cores and 8 threads.  And the benchmark is plenty good.  http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Xeon+E3-1230+V2+%40+3.30GHz

This might only cost $1300 or $1400 for everything.

Or use it to build a very nice web server.

I7 is quad core, Xeon can go to 18 core and have dual procs.  We are
currently considering Power Edge blades with 2x14 cores to build
private cloud.

Hi,

I was browsing Dell's PowerEdge servers and noticed they use the
Intel Xeon. I was wondering what might be the advantage of a Intel
Xeon vs. an i3/i5/i7 ?

Any thoughts?
