Core i5-4570S vs Xeon E3-1220 v3 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-4570S performs better than the Xeon E3-1220 v3. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E3-1220 v3 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 E3-1220 v3 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-4570S. Despite this, the Core i5-4570S has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-4570S CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E3-1220 v3 CPU because of its slightly 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 i5-4570S has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
