Intel Core i7-7700K vs Intel Xeon E3-1245 v5

Core i7-7700K vs Xeon E3-1245 v5 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-7700K performs better than the Xeon E3-1245 v5. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E3-1245 v5 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. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-7700K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E3-1245 v5. Also, the Core i7-7700K has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Xeon E3-1245 v5 outputs less heat than Core i7-7700K thanks to a slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache and L3 cache.

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 i7-7700K has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
