Xeon E5-1603 v3 vs Xeon E5-430 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-430 beats the Xeon E5-1603 v3 in overall performance. Despite this, the Xeon E5-1603 v3 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. The Xeon E5-430 outputs less heat than Xeon E5-1603 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. For instance, the Xeon E5-1603 v3 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
