Core i3-4340 vs Xeon X5470 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon X5470 is faster than the Core i3-4340. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-4340 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon X5470 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core i3-4340 that has 2 cores. 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 X5470. A Core i3-4340 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon X5470 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.
