Intel Core i7-3770K vs Intel Xeon E5-2643

Core i7-3770K vs Xeon E5-2643 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E5-2643 performs better than the Core i7-3770K. Despite this, the Core i7-3770K has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

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 E5-2643. Also, the Core i7-3770K has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-3770K CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2643 CPU because of its significantly 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 i7-3770K has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
