Core i3-9300 vs Xeon E5-430 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-9300 is faster than the Xeon E5-430. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-430 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-9300 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-430. A Core i3-9300 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-430 CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Xeon E5-430 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i3-9300

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. For instance, the Core i3-9300 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
