Intel Core i7-3630QM vs Intel Xeon E3-1225

Core i7-3630QM vs Xeon E3-1225 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-3630QM is faster than the Xeon E3-1225. Despite this, the Xeon E3-1225 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i7-3630QM has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E3-1225 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-3630QM. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. A Core i7-3630QM CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E3-1225 CPU because of its significantly 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. Indeed, the Core i7-3630QM has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
