Xeon E3-1231 v3 vs Xeon E3-1245 v3 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E3-1231 v3 is faster than the Xeon E3-1245 v3. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E3-1245 v3 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Both the Xeon E3-1231 v3 and Xeon E3-1245 v3 have the same clock speed. In addition, both chips have the same turbo speed. A Xeon E3-1231 v3 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E3-1245 v3 CPU because of its slightly 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 E3-1231 v3 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
