Core i5-4690 vs Xeon E3-1225 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-4690 is faster than the Xeon E3-1225. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E3-1225 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-4690 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E3-1225. Also, the Core i5-4690 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-4690 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E3-1225 CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. For instance, the Core i5-4690 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
