Intel Core i5-3470S vs Intel Xeon E3-1225 V2

Core i5-3470S vs Xeon E3-1225 V2 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E3-1225 V2 beats the Core i5-3470S in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-3470S in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E3-1225 V2 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-3470S.

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 i5-3470S has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
