Pentium G3250 vs Xeon E3-1225 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E3-1225 beats the Pentium G3250 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium G3250 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E3-1225 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Pentium G3250 that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Pentium G3250. Our comparison shows that the Pentium G3250 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E3-1225. A Pentium G3250 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E3-1225 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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. For instance, the Pentium G3250 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
