    So you mean the Corei& I have been given is better than Xeon.

    But I have heared that for a Server Xeon is better than Corei7 I know that there is a big difference in Processor between these two system but I just want to make sure.

    That I am getting a better system

    Hello,

    in this case you have got a better cpu as what you ordered.

    Please take a look at this -> intel comparing

    As you can see, the core I7 has more threads of CPU and also a better clock speed.

    Best regards

    The i7 is dramatically faster, but doesn't support ECC ram for added stability. I would certainly prefer the i7, but there are some people on the forum here who wouldn't use a server without ECC ram.

    Intel i7 will be faster, the Xeon will be more reliable for data, because it supports ECC ram.
    For your purpose the i7 is probably a better choice.

    A great site that I use to compare CPU is http://www.cpubenchmark.net/

    These are not EXACT ratings like you can't always say one is better than another because of a higher score although it does a fine overall job.

    Hope this helps!
