Intel Xeon E3-1220 v3 vs Intel Xeon X5482

Xeon E3-1220 v3 vs Xeon X5482 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E3-1220 v3 beats the Xeon X5482 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon X5482 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon X5482 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E3-1220 v3. A Xeon E3-1220 v3 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon X5482 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. For instance, the Xeon E3-1220 v3 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
