Core i3-4370 vs Xeon X3440 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i3-4370 performs better than the Xeon X3440. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon X3440 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon X3440 has significantly more cores than the Core i3-4370. Indeed, the Xeon X3440 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i3-4370. It also has more threads than the Core i3-4370. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-4370 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon X3440. A Core i3-4370 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon X3440 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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