Intel Core i7-4770K vs Intel Xeon E3-1241 v3

Core i7-4770K vs Xeon E3-1241 v3 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E3-1241 v3 beats the Core i7-4770K in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i7-4770K 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. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-4770K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E3-1241 v3. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. The Xeon E3-1241 v3 outputs less heat than Core i7-4770K thanks to a 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 i7-4770K has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
