Intel Core i5-11400F vs Intel Xeon E3-1225

Core i5-11400F vs Xeon E3-1225 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-11400F is faster than the Xeon E3-1225. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E3-1225 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-11400F has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Xeon E3-1225 that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Xeon E3-1225. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E3-1225 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-11400F. Despite this, the Core i5-11400F has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-11400F CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E3-1225 CPU because of its significantly 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. Indeed, the Core i5-11400F has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
