Xeon E5-1620 vs Xeon E3-1245 V2 specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E5-1620 performs better than the Xeon E3-1245 V2. Despite this, the Xeon E3-1245 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. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E5-1620 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E3-1245 V2.

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.
