AMD Ryzen 3 1300X vs Intel Xeon E3-1230 V2

Ryzen 3 1300X vs Xeon E3-1230 V2 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E3-1230 V2 is faster than the Ryzen 3 1300X. Despite this, the Ryzen 3 1300X has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Xeon E3-1230 V2 has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 1300X has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E3-1230 V2. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 3 1300X has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Xeon E3-1230 V2. However, both these chips have the same amount of 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. For instance, the Ryzen 3 1300X has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
