Intel Core i7-3770 vs Intel Xeon E3-1220

Core i7-3770 vs Xeon E3-1220 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-3770 performs better than the Xeon E3-1220. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E3-1220 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i7-3770 has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-3770 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E3-1220. Also, the Core i7-3770 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-3770 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E3-1220 CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Core i7-3770 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
