Core i5-7600 vs Xeon E3-1225 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-7600 beats the Xeon E3-1225 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E3-1225 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-7600 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Xeon E3-1225. Also, the Core i5-7600 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-7600 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E3-1225 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 i5-7600 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
