Xeon E5-1603 vs Xeon X3440 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon X3440 is faster than the Xeon E5-1603. Despite this, the Xeon E5-1603 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Xeon X3440 has more threads. The Xeon X3440 outputs less heat than Xeon E5-1603 thanks to a 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. For instance, the Xeon E5-1603 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
