Can Intel Xeon Processors E52676 V3 function as good as Inter Core Processors i9?

[Eric_Zhou0826]

Hi guys, my friend purchases a PC online and the seller said that the CPU (Intel Xeon Processors E52676 V3) can function as good as Inter Core Processors i9. So my question here is that even possible?

I called the Intel customer service and the guy said that Intel Xeon Processors E52676 V3 were produced in the third quarter of 2014 (10 years ago) while stopped selling it from the end of December in 2021. Moreover, he also said that the first generation of Inter Core Processors i9 were produced in the second quater of 2018.

So as far as I could know, the digital products which was produced in 2014 cannot match the functionality of its counterpart in 2018. I think there is a huge gap.

Please let me know if me wrong or right? Thank a lot!
