Intel Xeon E3-1230 vs Intel Pentium Gold G7400

Xeon E3-1230 vs Pentium Gold G7400 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Pentium Gold G7400 beats the Xeon E3-1230 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E3-1230 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E3-1230 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Pentium Gold G7400 that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Pentium Gold G7400. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Pentium Gold G7400 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E3-1230. The Pentium Gold G7400 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.

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. Indeed, the Xeon E3-1230 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
