Intel Xeon E-2276M vs Intel Core i7-3930K

Xeon E-2276M vs Core i7-3930K benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E-2276M beats the Core i7-3930K in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-3930K in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i7-3930K has a slightly higher clock speed than the Xeon E-2276M. Despite this, the Xeon E-2276M has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Xeon E-2276M CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-3930K 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. Indeed, the Xeon E-2276M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
