Core i5-7600 vs Xeon E3-1245 V2 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-7600 performs better than the Xeon E3-1245 V2. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E3-1245 V2 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Xeon E3-1245 V2 has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-7600 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Xeon E3-1245 V2. In terms of cache, both these CPUs have the same amount of L2 cache. The Xeon E3-1245 V2 also has slightly more L3 cache.

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.
