About the Product
The Intel Xeon X5687 was a server/workstation processor with 4 cores. It is part of the Xeon lineup, using the Westmere-EP architecture with Socket 1366. Thanks to Intel Hyper-Threading the core-count is effectively doubled, to 8 threads.
Intel Core i7-4790K inherits all the good technologies from the past, but at the same time received a new family of Intel 9-series chipsets. With its LGA 1150 socket design, the processor is compatible with the current fleet of motherboards based on Intel 8-series chipsets, which may require a BIOS update to function correctly.
