Core i5-4460 vs Xeon E5-2609 v3 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-4460 is faster than the Xeon E5-2609 v3. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2609 v3 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2609 v3 has significantly more cores than the Core i5-4460. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2609 v3 has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i5-4460. It also has more threads than the Core i5-4460. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-4460 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2609 v3. The Xeon E5-2609 v3 outputs less heat than Core i5-4460 thanks to a slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 i5-4460 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
