Intel Core i7-4770 vs Intel Xeon E3-1275 v3

Core i7-4770 vs Xeon E3-1275 v3 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E3-1275 v3 beats the Core i7-4770 in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i7-4770 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E3-1275 v3 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-4770. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. A Core i7-4770 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.

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 i7-4770 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
