Intel Core i5-9300HF vs Intel Xeon E3-1270 v6

Core i5-9300HF vs Xeon E3-1270 v6 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E3-1270 v6 is faster than the Core i5-9300HF. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-9300HF in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E3-1270 v6 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-9300HF. Also, the Xeon E3-1270 v6 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-9300HF CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E3-1270 v6 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache and 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. Indeed, the Core i5-9300HF has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
