Intel Core i3-4340 vs Intel Xeon X5450

Core i3-4340 vs Xeon X5450 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-4340 beats the Xeon X5450 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon X5450 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon X5450 has significantly more cores than the Core i3-4340. Indeed, the Xeon X5450 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i3-4340. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-4340 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon X5450. A Core i3-4340 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon X5450 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Core i3-4340 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
