Core i3-9100F vs Xeon E3-1230 V2 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i3-9100F performs better than the Xeon E3-1230 V2. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E3-1230 V2 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Xeon E3-1230 V2 has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i3-9100F has a slightly higher clock speed than the Xeon E3-1230 V2. In terms of cache, both these CPUs have the same amount of L2 cache. The Xeon E3-1230 V2 also has slightly more L3 cache.

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. For instance, the Core i3-9100F has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
