Intel Xeon E5-1620 vs Intel Core i3-1220P

Xeon E5-1620 vs Core i3-1220P benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-1220P is faster than the Xeon E5-1620. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-1620 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i3-1220P has significantly more cores with 10 cores whereas the Xeon E5-1620 has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Xeon E5-1620. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E5-1620 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-1220P. Despite this, the Core i3-1220P has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i3-1220P outputs less heat than Xeon E5-1620 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
