Intel Xeon E3-1225 vs AMD Phenom II X6 1065T

Xeon E3-1225 vs Phenom II X6 1065T specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Phenom II X6 1065T beats the Xeon E3-1225 in overall performance. Despite this, the Xeon E3-1225 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Phenom II X6 1065T has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Xeon E3-1225 that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Xeon E3-1225. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E3-1225 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Phenom II X6 1065T.

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.
