What CPU fits in a LGA 1151?

LGA 1151 revision 2 supports Coffee Lake CPUs and it’s compatible with 8th and 9th generation CPUs that use the 300 series chipsets from Intel, including H310, B360, Z370, and Z390. Despite it being a revision of the original socket, it’s physically the same and compatible with the first revision.

Is Xeon E3 better than i7?

In comparison, a 3.3GHz speed in a Xeon E3-1245 can deliver up to 25\% better performance when utilizing hyper-threading. The Xeon E3-1200 family is very similar to the i7, yet you’re not going to get the graphics performance, which is what many mainstream end-users look for in a basic desktop.
