Xeon E3-1245 v3 vs Core i7-4930MX comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-4930MX 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. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E3-1245 v3 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-4930MX. Despite this, the Core i7-4930MX has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-4930MX outputs less heat than Xeon E3-1245 v3 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 E3-1245 v3 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
