Okay, I think something is strange with my finding. It's on different board so that may be one of the reasons why I get different CPU score under 3DMark Advantage. Set both to the same default speed (Turbo 24x133) of 3.2Ghz, I get 34357 CPU Score for my MSI Eclipse Plus with the i7 950 and I get a CPU Score of 50484 for my EVGA Classified 3 with the Xeon W3550. Why are their score so different? Is the Xeon really that much of a better performer than the 950?

No. They are basically the same chip. Do you have hyperthereading on the xeon with it off on the i7 950.

Both have the Hyperthreading ON.
I've heard xeons are better chips, but 26K nah that can't be... Did one setup have a physix setup?
No, both systems only have one video card each. But we are not talking about GPU Score, we are talking about CPU Score. Shouldn't two CPU that have the same speed and architecture perform similar? That's my confusion.
