Intel Core i3-12100 vs Intel Xeon E3-1230 V2

Core i3-12100 vs Xeon E3-1230 V2 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-12100 is faster than the Xeon E3-1230 V2. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E3-1230 V2 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E3-1230 V2 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-12100.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Core i3-12100 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
