Intel Core i3-3110M vs Intel Xeon E3-1226 v3

Core i3-3110M vs Xeon E3-1226 v3 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E3-1226 v3 beats the Core i3-3110M in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-3110M in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E3-1226 v3 has significantly more cores than the Core i3-3110M. Indeed, the Xeon E3-1226 v3 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i3-3110M. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E3-1226 v3 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-3110M. A Core i3-3110M CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E3-1226 v3 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 i3-3110M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
