I'm thinking of buying a new pc and am slightly confused about processors
Was looking at an Intel Xeon quad core.
the thing I don't get is looking at these 2 processors
Intel Xeon Quad Core E3-1280 3.5Ghz LGA1155 8MB 32nm
Intel Xeon Quad Core E3-1220 3.1Ghz LGA1155 8MB 32nm
The numbers suggest that the first one is about 12% quicker than the second (3.5 ghz over 3.1 ghz). If this is the case then I'd expect it to cost about 12% more yet it actually costs about 3 times as much so is there more to it than that?
