Intel Xeon E3-1220 v3 vs Intel Core i7-4810MQ

Xeon E3-1220 v3 vs Core i7-4810MQ benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E3-1220 v3 beats the Core i7-4810MQ in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-4810MQ in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E3-1220 v3 has slightly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core i7-4810MQ that has 3 cores. Despite this, the Core i7-4810MQ has more threads than the Xeon E3-1220 v3. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E3-1220 v3 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-4810MQ. Despite this, the Core i7-4810MQ has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-4810MQ outputs less heat than Xeon E3-1220 v3 thanks to a 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. For instance, the Xeon E3-1220 v3 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
