Core i5-4670 vs Xeon E5-430 specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E5-430 performs better than the Core i5-4670. Despite this, the Core i5-4670 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-4670 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-430. The Xeon E5-430 outputs less heat than Core i5-4670 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 i5-4670 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
