Xeon E3-1220 vs Core i5-3350P benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E3-1220 beats the Core i5-3350P in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i5-3350P has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. In terms of clock speed, the Xeon E3-1220 and Core i5-3350P are identical in this regard. Despite this, the Xeon E3-1220 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-3350P outputs less heat than Xeon E3-1220 thanks to a slightly 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 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
