Intel Core i7-3770S vs Intel Xeon E3-1220 v3

Core i7-3770S vs Xeon E3-1220 v3 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-3770S is faster than the Xeon E3-1220 v3. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E3-1220 v3 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i7-3770S has more threads. According to our data, the Core i7-3770S and Xeon E3-1220 v3 have the same clock speed. Despite this, the Core i7-3770S has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-3770S CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E3-1220 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 i7-3770S has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
