Xeon E3-1225 vs Core i7-4910MQ benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-4910MQ performs better than the Xeon E3-1225. Despite this, the Xeon E3-1225 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i7-4910MQ has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon E3-1225 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-4910MQ. Despite this, the Core i7-4910MQ has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-4910MQ outputs less heat than Xeon E3-1225 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. For instance, the Xeon E3-1225 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
