So, I have an i7 3820 and it does everything I want just fine, there's nothing wrong with it.
The only benefit I'd really see by upgrading would be my DC work, which I don't mind. Also, maybe down the road there might be a program or other benefit I don't see yet. In any case I have the money so I don't mind spending it, if the value is good.
I've seen some used Xeon E5 2690 chips on Ebay, they're used but going for about 15% of new price. I expect I'd see some performance gains with DC but how about the rest of computing?
Just how well do server chips do with home PC's anyways?
I've had bad experiences asking questions in other areas on OC , hoping someone here might be using xeons.
