Core i5-4460T vs Xeon E3-1220 v3 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E3-1220 v3 beats the Core i5-4460T in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-4460T in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E3-1220 v3 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-4460T. Also, the Xeon E3-1220 v3 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-4460T CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E3-1220 v3 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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