Intel Core i7-11390H vs Intel Xeon E3-1281 v3

Core i7-11390H vs Xeon E3-1281 v3 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-11390H beats the Xeon E3-1281 v3 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E3-1281 v3 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. A Core i7-11390H CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E3-1281 v3 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 i7-11390H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
