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

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

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E3-1241 v3 is faster than the Core i7-4770S. Despite this, the Core i7-4770S 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 E3-1241 v3 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-4770S. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. A Core i7-4770S CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E3-1241 v3 CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Core i7-4770S has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
