Intel Xeon E3-1225 vs Intel Core i7-9850HL

Xeon E3-1225 vs Core i7-9850HL comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-9850HL performs better than the Xeon E3-1225. Despite this, the Xeon E3-1225 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-9850HL has significantly more cores than the Xeon E3-1225. Indeed, the Core i7-9850HL has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Xeon E3-1225. It also has more threads than the Xeon E3-1225. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E3-1225 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-9850HL. Despite this, the Core i7-9850HL has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-9850HL 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.

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 E3-1225 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
