Core i5-4670 vs Xeon E3-1240 V2 specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E3-1240 V2 performs better than the Core i5-4670. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-4670 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Xeon E3-1240 V2 has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon E3-1240 V2 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-4670.

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 i5-4670 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
