Intel Core i7-4930MX vs Intel Xeon E3-1240 V2

Core i7-4930MX vs Xeon E3-1240 V2 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E3-1240 V2 beats the Core i7-4930MX in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-4930MX in all gaming tests too.

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 E3-1240 V2 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-4930MX. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache and L3 cache.

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 i7-4930MX has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
