Core i7-3770K vs Xeon E3-1230 V2 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-3770K is faster than the Xeon E3-1230 V2. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E3-1230 V2 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i7-3770K has a slightly higher clock speed than the Xeon E3-1230 V2.

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 i7-3770K has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
