Xeon E5-1620 v3 vs Xeon E3-1270 V2 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-1620 v3 beats the Xeon E3-1270 V2 in overall performance. Despite this, the Xeon E3-1270 V2 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. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon E3-1270 V2 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Xeon E5-1620 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 E5-1620 v3 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
