Intel Core i3-9100F vs Intel Xeon E3-1240 v3

Core i3-9100F vs Xeon E3-1240 v3 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E3-1240 v3 beats the Core i3-9100F in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i3-9100F has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Xeon E3-1240 v3 has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-9100F has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E3-1240 v3. Also, the Core i3-9100F has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i3-9100F CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E3-1240 v3 CPU because of its slightly 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. For instance, the Core i3-9100F has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
