Core i5-7600 vs Xeon E3-1245 v3 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-7600 beats the Xeon E3-1245 v3 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E3-1245 v3 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Xeon E3-1245 v3 has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-7600 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E3-1245 v3. Also, the Core i5-7600 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-7600 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E3-1245 v3 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 i5-7600 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
