Intel Core i5-8400 vs Intel Xeon E3-1220 v5

Core i5-8400 vs Xeon E3-1220 v5 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-8400 is faster than the Xeon E3-1220 v5. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E3-1220 v5 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-8400 has significantly more cores than the Xeon E3-1220 v5. Indeed, the Core i5-8400 has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Xeon E3-1220 v5. It also has more threads than the Xeon E3-1220 v5. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E3-1220 v5 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-8400. Despite this, the Core i5-8400 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-8400 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E3-1220 v5 CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the Core i5-8400 has more L2 cache than the Xeon E3-1220 v5. The Core i5-8400 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 i5-8400 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
