Fast but economic workstation needed

[AlexP]

@vlado

thanks for this list, which is interesting.
according to this list, indeed my E5-2630 xeon has only 8,907 points, while the i7-3770K reaches 9,650 points. but i don’t understand why even 2 xeons seem to be hardly faster than a single core i7.

I think these benchmarks are only on a single chip? not using dual Xeons.

Someone correct me if Im wrong. Im also using these graphs to help pick a new home workstation
