Intel Xeon E3-1245 v3 vs Intel Xeon X5650

Xeon E3-1245 v3 vs Xeon X5650 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E3-1245 v3 performs better than the Xeon X5650. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon X5650 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon X5650 has significantly more cores than the Xeon E3-1245 v3. Indeed, the Xeon X5650 has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Xeon E3-1245 v3. It also has more threads than the Xeon E3-1245 v3. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E3-1245 v3 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon X5650. Also, the Xeon E3-1245 v3 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Xeon E3-1245 v3 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon X5650 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 E3-1245 v3 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
