Intel Core i5-4440 vs Intel Xeon E5-1603 v3

Core i5-4440 vs Xeon E5-1603 v3 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-1603 v3 beats the Core i5-4440 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-4440 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. A Core i5-4440 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 i5-4440 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
