Core i5-2400S vs Xeon X3440 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon X3440 is faster than the Core i5-2400S. Despite this, the Core i5-2400S has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Xeon X3440 has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon X3440 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-2400S. Despite this, the Core i5-2400S has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-2400S CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon X3440 CPU because of its significantly 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 i5-2400S has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
