Intel Core i5-7600 vs Intel Xeon E3-1240 V2

Core i5-7600 vs Xeon E3-1240 V2 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-7600 beats the Xeon E3-1240 V2 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E3-1240 V2 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Xeon E3-1240 V2 has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-7600 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E3-1240 V2. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache. The Xeon E3-1240 V2 also has slightly more L3 cache.

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 i5-7600 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
