Intel Core i3-4150 vs Intel Xeon E5-450

Core i3-4150 vs Xeon E5-450 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-450 beats the Core i3-4150 in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i3-4150 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-450 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core i3-4150 that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-4150 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-450.

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 i3-4150 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
