Core i7-4771 vs Xeon E3-1241 v3 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E3-1241 v3 performs better than the Core i7-4771. Despite this, the Core i7-4771 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. In terms of clock speed, the Core i7-4771 and Xeon E3-1241 v3 are identical in this regard. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. The Xeon E3-1241 v3 outputs less heat than Core i7-4771 thanks to a 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 i7-4771 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
