Review: i7-4790 vs E3-1270v3 Fastest per-core Performance

[Connor Gavitt]

Depends on the chip, the ones ending in a 5 do have integrated graphics.

I'm aware of that, just the one in this thread doesn't.

But integrated graphics really isn't all that important for a headless server.

Thank you @obscurehero for the detailed comparison!

The i7 overall ends up being cheaper actually since it uses non-ECC memory (which is cheaper than ECC, required by the E3 servers). For FTB/Minecraft, ECC is pretty much useless. Look up bit flipping for more information.

The Xeon processors support ECC, but do not require it.

Yes, that's what it says on paper. Most motherboards that we have tried do not allow non-ECC memory to be used with Xeon processors.

So I have a few questions.. I know this is an old post but I am trying to create a beast plex server with old parts i have laying around.
My Idea is to use This server with a old 4790K and a TESLA s1070 with quardro p4000s i have laying around. I see you did testing with a similar motherboard, Did you run into any issues using an "unsupported" cpu?
