Xeon E-2276M vs Core i7-3960X comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E-2276M performs better than the Core i7-3960X. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-3960X in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i7-3960X 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 i7-3960X CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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. Indeed, the Xeon E-2276M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
