Xeon E3-1220 v3 vs Core i7-9850HL benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-9850HL is faster than the Xeon E3-1220 v3. Despite this, the Xeon E3-1220 v3 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-9850HL has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Xeon E3-1220 v3 that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Xeon E3-1220 v3. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E3-1220 v3 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-9850HL. Despite this, the Core i7-9850HL has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-9850HL 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.
