Intel Xeon E5-2630 vs Intel Core i3-1220P

Xeon E5-2630 vs Core i3-1220P benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-1220P beats the Xeon E5-2630 in overall performance. Despite this, the Xeon E5-2630 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i3-1220P has significantly more cores with 10 cores compared to the Xeon E5-2630 that has 6 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2630 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-1220P.

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. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2630 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
