Intel Xeon E3-1230 vs Intel Core i7-4810MQ

Xeon E3-1230 vs Core i7-4810MQ benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E3-1230 beats the Core i7-4810MQ in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i7-4810MQ has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E3-1230 has slightly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core i7-4810MQ that has 3 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i7-4810MQ. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E3-1230 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-4810MQ. Despite this, the Core i7-4810MQ has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-4810MQ outputs less heat than Xeon E3-1230 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 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
