Intel Core i7-920 vs Intel Xeon X3440

Core i7-920 vs Xeon X3440 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon X3440 performs better than the Core i7-920. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-920 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-920 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon X3440. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. The Xeon X3440 outputs less heat than Core i7-920 thanks to a slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Core i7-920 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Xeon X3440

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 i7-920 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
