Xeon E3-1220 v3 vs Phenom II X6 1065T benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Phenom II X6 1065T performs better than the Xeon E3-1220 v3. Despite this, the Xeon E3-1220 v3 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

With info from our database, we find that the Phenom II X6 1065T has significantly more cores with 6 cores whereas the Xeon E3-1220 v3 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 slightly higher clock speed compared to the Phenom II X6 1065T.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. For instance, the Xeon E3-1220 v3 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
