Intel Core i5-3470S vs Intel Xeon X5470

Core i5-3470S vs Xeon X5470 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-3470S is faster than the Xeon X5470. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon X5470 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Xeon X5470 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-3470S. A Core i5-3470S 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.

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