Difference Between Xeon versus Desktop?

[RunawayPrisoner]

I'm only providing future owners of this chip all the information I can provide... so they know what to expect from the chip. Of course, I'm quite concerned about this "myth" as well, and that's why I'd like to try and see... although I doubt anyone will buy both this and a Q9450 chip at the same time.

Edit: Oh, and I'm quoting what another user asked before:

Where is the sites actual benchmark showing the 25% difference?

Yeah... I'd like to know that as well. I'm a guy of actual pictures and numbers, not of statistical talks.

And by the way, since we are going with a "myth" from the 65nm quads, let's go back and look at the 65nm quads, yeah?

After reading that, here's what I gather: Xeon might require less voltage than their desktop counterparts to run stable at the same clock speed, thus making them potentially better overclockers. Also Xeon can withstand higher thermal than their desktop counterparts. This has actually been proven in the case of E3110 versus E8400 processors, so I'd say that this is probably true.

And... back to google.
