Core i3-9100F vs Xeon E3-1241 v3 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E3-1241 v3 is faster than the Core i3-9100F. Despite this, the Core i3-9100F has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Xeon E3-1241 v3 has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-9100F has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E3-1241 v3. Also, the Core i3-9100F has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i3-9100F CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E3-1241 v3 CPU because of its 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 i3-9100F has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
