Intel Core i3-12100 vs Intel Xeon E5-2697A v4

Core i3-12100 vs Xeon E5-2697A v4 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2697A v4 is faster than the Core i3-12100. Despite this, the Core i3-12100 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2697A v4 has significantly more cores than the Core i3-12100. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2697A v4 has 16 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i3-12100. It also has more threads than the Core i3-12100. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-12100 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2697A v4. Also, the Core i3-12100 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i3-12100 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2697A v4 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Core i3-12100 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
