Intel Xeon E3-1240 v3 vs Intel Xeon E3-1240 V2

Xeon E3-1240 v3 vs Xeon E3-1240 V2 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E3-1240 v3 beats the Xeon E3-1240 V2 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E3-1240 V2 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E3-1240 V2 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E3-1240 v3.

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. Indeed, the Xeon E3-1240 v3 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
