Core i5-4430 vs Xeon E3-1225 V2 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E3-1225 V2 is faster than the Core i5-4430. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-4430 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E3-1225 V2 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-4430.

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 i5-4430 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
