Core i7-3770K vs Xeon E3-1275 v3 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E3-1275 v3 beats the Core i7-3770K in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-3770K in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. Both the Core i7-3770K and Xeon E3-1275 v3 have the same clock speed. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. A Core i7-3770K CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E3-1275 v3 CPU because of its slightly 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 i7-3770K has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
