Intel Core i3-4370 vs Intel Xeon E5-2609 v3

Core i3-4370 vs Xeon E5-2609 v3 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-4370 is faster than the Xeon E5-2609 v3. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2609 v3 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2609 v3 has significantly more cores than the Core i3-4370. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2609 v3 has 6 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i3-4370. It also has more threads than the Core i3-4370. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i3-4370 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Xeon E5-2609 v3. A Core i3-4370 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2609 v3 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 i3-4370 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
