QC Xeon X3220 vs QC Xeon 5320 - which is better? Dell upgraded mine to 5320

Posted by Georgecooldude, 11-18-2007, 08:43 AM

I just ordered a dell server a few days ago and have noticed in addition to a free harddrive upgrade I now have an upgraded processor for the same price. PE860 Quad-Core Xeon X3220 2.4GHz/2x4MB 1066FSB (105W) Free Processor Upgrade to QC Xeon 5320 The question for me is which is better? The previous processor was the low energy 105W one which suited me fine as I'm co-locating this to a DC where they are very strict on power consumption. Is this one going to provide a noticable performance increase over the first? Is it a major power hog?
