Intel Core i7-8700T vs Intel Xeon E3-1241 v3

Core i7-8700T vs Xeon E3-1241 v3 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E3-1241 v3 is faster than the Core i7-8700T. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-8700T in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-8700T has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Xeon E3-1241 v3 that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Xeon E3-1241 v3. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E3-1241 v3 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-8700T. Despite this, the Core i7-8700T has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-8700T CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E3-1241 v3 CPU because of its significantly 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 i7-8700T has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
