Core i5-3330 vs Xeon X5470 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Xeon X5470 beats the Core i5-3330 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-3330 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon X5470 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-3330. A Core i5-3330 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon X5470 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. For instance, the Core i5-3330 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
