Core i5-3570K vs Xeon E5-1603 v3 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-3570K is faster than the Xeon E5-1603 v3. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-1603 v3 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. A Core i5-3570K CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-1603 v3 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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