Feature rich CPU

It's a toss up really.

FX83's etc have a ton of instruction sets, virtu stuff, then you've got the Intel Xeon's.

It'd probably be some of the socket 2011 stuff that's most feature rich (More so with the Ivy-E)
 
Ooo i didn't even contemplate a xeon!

Oft Ivy-E is getting expensive, interesting to read about tho!

AMD I did think would be more feature rich than Intel... don't know where I got that idea.

I did see that the K intels have less features than non K versions.
 
Yeah, that's why I didn't mention the K's (Except 2011 afaik, I could be wrong like, I don't think the 4820/3820 have stuff missing though), they have stuff missing, Virtu stuff etc.

Ivy-E is expensive, but will be the most feature packed.

AMD's FX83's will be up there too, a much welcomed change from their 45nm lines which lacked terribly (SSSE3 etc)

Xeon should be at near the same level as the FX83's like, the likes of the 1230 v3 for example ; http://ark.intel.com/products/75054/intel-xeon-processor-e3-1230-v3-8m-cache-3_30-ghz this should be able to be ran on any socket 1150 that you'd buy from a retailer, so none of the OEM rubbish!

What would realistically set it aside from an non k i5 or i7?

No IGU, so lower power use / less heat. More instruction features, the Xeon 1230vX line is basically the top end desktop CPU variant with locked clocks and no graphics. You pay i5 price for i7 performance but you can't overclock. If you don't plan on overclocking the 1230's are best bang for buck CPU's..
 
The 4770 non K versions are feature rich also. I've got a 4770T in one machine which has everything. The Xeons lag heavily behind with graphics, (and frankly the non soldered chips do to). There's no technical reason for any of this, it's just artificial market segregation and it sucks.

Elaborate? The Xeon's have no IGP, but are nigh on the same CPU performance at a lower price.

Don't know what you're on about with the none soldered parts and their graphics..... :confused:

Some of the (lower end) Xeons have onboard graphics, they are called something else but they are lower performance than say the 4600 on the consumer parts.

By soldered chips, I meant the stuff that is soldered onto the motherboard. That's the only way to get Iris (HD 5xxx) graphics.
