Intel Core i7-975 vs Intel Xeon E3-1225 V2

Core i7-975 vs Xeon E3-1225 V2 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E3-1225 V2 is faster than the Core i7-975. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-975 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i7-975 has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-975 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E3-1225 V2.

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 i7-975 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
