Have anyone tried a Thinkpad with Xeon processor? Is it much faster than the i7?

I am looking for a new thinkpad to quickly run GNU+linux and Firefox, and wondering if it's worth the upgrade.

You don't know what distinguishes a Xeon from an i7, do you?
>>
>>54886584
That's what I am asking.

leave /g/ and never come back then, this is not a place for people like you.

The 'Electrolysis' project (multi-threading) is actually in the mainstream now.
>>
>>54886994
Did they fix their issues?
>>
>>54886999
Not all of them, there are still few bugs. And older extensions won't work. But i'd say, it's mostly useable. https://wiki.mozilla.org/Electrolysis#Weekly_Status_Reports

Xeon and i7 are mostly the same, but some chip licensing differences, and oh yeah locked multipliers.

You can get a bit more fair advantage with an i7 but people usually choose Xeon because it's provided by their vendor most of the time.

Go away you SJW cuck, sage
>>
>>54887240
I don't know about you, anon, but I've never seen a 10 core i7 or one capable of running in an 8 socket system...
>>
>>54887240
>mostly the same
No, they're different.
Xeons have better memory controllers.
ECC RAM support.
They're higher binned than i7s.
Support all CPU features.

Presumably the GPU is better but no one cares enough about them to try it out.
>>
>>54887382
There are only single socket quad core mobile Xeons.
>>
>>54887014
e10s is still using one huge lock around a single render thread.
Shit ain't fixed till Servo lands. But Servo is kicking ass thusfar, so I'm actually optimistic.
>>
>>54886542
Unless you're using a chipset that takes advantage of Xeon features, there's literally no point.
>>
>>54887447
The comparison was Xeon vs i7. Not mobile Xeon vs mobile i7.
>>

OPs asking about a thinkpad you illiterate fuck.

Dell or GTFO.

OP is talking about installing GNU+linux, you illiterate fuck.
