Xeon E3-1220 vs Core i7-4810MQ comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-4810MQ beats the Xeon E3-1220 in overall performance. Despite this, the Xeon E3-1220 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E3-1220 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. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon E3-1220 has a slightly higher clock speed than 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 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
