Xeon E3-1220 vs Xeon E3-1225 V2 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E3-1225 V2 beats the Xeon E3-1220 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E3-1220 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E3-1225 V2 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E3-1220.

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.
