Intel Core i3-4330 vs Intel Xeon E5-440

Core i3-4330 vs Xeon E5-440 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-4330 is faster than the Xeon E5-440. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-440 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-440 has significantly more cores than the Core i3-4330. Indeed, the Xeon E5-440 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i3-4330. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-4330 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-440.

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 i3-4330 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
