Workstation advantages over HP Desktop PCs
Higher CPU Performance
The workstation Quad Core Intel® Xeon® processor E3-1200 v3
1
series includes models up to a 3.6GHz base frequency,
while the 4rd generation Intel® Core
TM
i7 processors
1
for desktop PC reach up to 3.4GHz. The Intel® Xeon® E3 processors
1
also oer several models with Hyper-Threading
6
and larger 8MB cache compared to their Intel® Core
TM
i5 counterparts.
