Core i7-3770S vs Xeon E3-1226 v3 specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-3770S performs better than the Xeon E3-1226 v3. Despite this, the Xeon E3-1226 v3 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i7-3770S has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E3-1226 v3 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-3770S. Despite this, the Core i7-3770S has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-3770S CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E3-1226 v3 CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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