Core i3-8350K vs Xeon E3-1280 v3 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i3-8350K performs better than the Xeon E3-1280 v3. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E3-1280 v3 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Xeon E3-1280 v3 has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-8350K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E3-1280 v3. The Xeon E3-1280 v3 outputs less heat than Core i3-8350K thanks to a slightly 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. For instance, the Core i3-8350K has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
