Why was the question about the difference between an Intel i7 and Xeon processor closed?

Are there noticeable differences in Intel i7 and Xeon 5400 chipset family? [closed]

Initially, I may have phrased the question incorrectly but was essentially getting to the primary question of the reason an i7 is rated better than a Xeon even though one is typically much more expensive than the other and comparing specific instances from cpubenchmark.net

My question has almost no variance from What is the difference between an Intel i7 and a Xeon quad core processor? other than asking for greater detail the the OP of the latter post. The latter gets 19 upvotes and 37k views. I give specific types of actions a user may be interested (gaming is not a SU question in my opinion) so listing out actual day to day activities seems relevant.

In addition to this, the question, which is a valid QUESTION, is downvoted as opposed to vote for being closed. I see things like this quite often, it would be nice to have expalanation for closure as well as consistency across the platform.
