My new video. Battlefield™ 1 DX12 ULTRA with E5-2686 V3 18 Core 2.0Ghz base clock. Many quad core i5/i7 users are complaining of high CPU usage resulting in low GPU usage (bottleneck). Here the proof that a Xeon maintains GPU usage at 99-100% with high FPS...
I always recommend Xeon for its stability and reliability and currently the prices are very attractive compared to the i7 X99 platform. And also serves for everything: Games and work. Xeon E5 provides a truly complete PC.
I did several tests with various types of Xeon v2, v3 and v4 and all have done as well as the i7 and in some cases even better. On this YouTube channel you have all the test videos I've done:
