Core i7-3770 vs Xeon E3-1231 v3 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-3770 beats the Xeon E3-1231 v3 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E3-1231 v3 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-3770 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E3-1231 v3. Also, the Core i7-3770 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-3770 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E3-1231 v3 CPU because of its slightly 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 i7-3770 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
