Intel Core i5-3570 vs Intel Xeon E3-1270 V2

Core i5-3570 vs Xeon E3-1270 V2 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E3-1270 V2 beats the Core i5-3570 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-3570 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Xeon E3-1270 V2 has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E3-1270 V2 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-3570.

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 i5-3570 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
