Core i7-3770K vs Xeon E3-1270 V2 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-3770K performs better than the Xeon E3-1270 V2. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E3-1270 V2 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon E3-1270 V2 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-3770K.

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