Xeon E5-620 vs Core i3-1220P benchmarks
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i3-1220P performs better than the Xeon E5-620. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-620 in all gaming tests too.
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 E5-620 that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Xeon E5-620. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon E5-620 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i3-1220P. Despite this, the Core i3-1220P has a significantly higher turbo speed. The Core i3-1220P outputs less heat than Xeon E5-620 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core i3-1220P has significantly more L2 cache than the Xeon E5-620. The Core i3-1220P also has significantly more L3 cache.
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 E5-620 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
