What do the Xeon processors have that the other Quad Core Intel processors don't have? I've always wondered why these processors were/are much more expensive?

This is for "light" drafting work. The CPU scores under CPUMARK are pretty close, 5412 vs. 5162, Intel Xeon W3550 3.07 GHz vs. AMD Phenon II X6 2.8 GHz, respectively.
