Xeon E3-1230 v3 vs Core i3-1220P comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i3-1220P performs better than the Xeon E3-1230 v3. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E3-1230 v3 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i3-1220P has significantly more cores with 10 cores whereas the Xeon E3-1230 v3 has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Xeon E3-1230 v3. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E3-1230 v3 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-1220P. Despite this, the Core i3-1220P has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i3-1220P outputs less heat than Xeon E3-1230 v3 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. Indeed, the Xeon E3-1230 v3 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
