Intel Xeon x3440 ?

**darthcani** · 10-06-2009, 04:20 PM

Hi guys, what is better option Lynnfield i5 750 cpu or Intel Xeon x3440 ?
what do you think ?

**jcool** · 10-06-2009, 05:02 PM

3440 has HT, therefore it is better.

Yeah the xeon have HT and 750 dont have it, but which of the two is more oc ?

Why do you need a higher clock speed?
I'd still go with the Xeon, you can always disable HT on it to get a higher speed...

Thanks, im wait to see same sample of this xeon in XS lands for see how far can get

Xeon should be better, and Im sure you know that. They are colder than the common cpus and they are supposed to do higher clocks also.

About Hyperthreading, as far it doesnt put up your temps high, you should use it. That is for sure.
And also take HT into account if you are going to use you cpu for video/audio encoding, etc. Because it becomes useful, it get down your times in a really notiaceable way.

Taking all that things considered, Xeon would be better whatever you do.

Wow the price is just right for this processor.

+1
The newer programs are optimized for hyperthreading... And for those programs it will speed them up a lot for you to have it!

just bought my X3460 from Germany ...

**Osterman** · 10-07-2009, 08:15 AM

lol Well as far as I can see I spoke for everyone!

Im looking forward to getting a Xeon for my rig, but is difficult to find one with a good batch...

**foronoob** · 10-07-2009, 08:30 AM

when I bought my Xeon, everybody said... bad choice, the xeon are the same core that the i7 920s,is not worth the extra money (15 U$S), but now everyone wants Xeon ... big rolleyes

**Osterman** · 10-07-2009, 08:34 AM

Its pretty impressive what a lack of information can make people say...

Your post is more like SPAM than more other thing, Xeon w3520 compared with the i7 920 have less difference that i5 750 - Xeon X3440, i7 920 an Xeon w3520 both have HT both can rise to 4 ghz // 4.2 with no problems but i5 750 no have HT and Xeon yes thats is one of the most important difference, mate you have to think a litte more before post

no all the Lynnfield's Xeons haven't the HT ...

anyway you're right on the Bloomfield's Xeons

I am talking about X 3440 only , theres is others lynnfield xeons that no have HT

Can you post some result of your rig ? share share !!

in the next days dude, i'm waiting the processor from Germany ... next week you can see everything ...

Nice ! im waiting for a few shots

**PolRoger** · 10-08-2009, 08:22 PM

New chip... just starting out. (18x200 with a quick Prime blend)

I can do default multi (19) x200 with more volts but my cooler can't keep the temps under control after about 10+ min. when running 8 threads of Prime.

I'm currently having trouble getting the turbo multi (x20) to function at all... even at stock/default settings?

**shiznit93** · 10-09-2009, 09:21 AM

I just got my p55 mobo, considering this chip but the i5 750 is only $170 and the i7 860 is $240 at Mircrocenter so I'm torn.

grab this chip dude

@PolRoger: what cooling?

I started with the Enzotech Ultra-X (one fan) it could handle 3.6 but not Prime@3.8. I'm now testing a TRUE black with two fans in push/pull... temps seem a little better and I'm back testing at 3.8. The native 775 back plates for the these coolers are not a good fit on this board. I'm looking forward to getting proper 1156 bracket adapters when they become available.

OK, waiting feed-back about your coolers ...

however if we compare your chip with this 860 (cooled by a CM TX3):

your vCC seems to be a little higher ... but your Ts are better ... maybe you can put your vCC down or not?

**darthcani** · 10-10-2009, 07:36 AM

I have one question to new users of xeon x3440, this model of xeon can rise 4 ghz ? or 3.8 is the limit for 24/7 ?
