Intel Core i7-4771 vs Intel Xeon E3-1280 v3

Core i7-4771 vs Xeon E3-1280 v3 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E3-1280 v3 beats the Core i7-4771 in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i7-4771 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. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E3-1280 v3 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-4771. Also, the Xeon E3-1280 v3 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Xeon E3-1280 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.
