Many popular reviews will have you believe that Xeon CPUs have outlived their usefulness, that they can't keep up with other budget options for a competitively priced gaming PC build. But what if the answer wasn't so clear cut? Here we pit an Intel Xeon 2667 v4 against an AMD Ryzen 3700x in a battle of the budget builds. And these benchmarks will surprise you. 

But first what am I drinking!? .... It's Massive Political Corruption. A pre-prohibition era Amber Ale from Blue Island Beer Company. It's a surprisingly crisp and tasty Amber Ale that clocks in at 4.5%. Not too challenging, but not bland either.
