Xeon E3-1226 v3 vs Xeon E5-430 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E3-1226 v3 beats the Xeon E5-430 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-430 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E3-1226 v3 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-430. The Xeon E5-430 outputs less heat than Xeon E3-1226 v3 thanks to a slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. For instance, the Xeon E3-1226 v3 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
