Xeon Gold 6226R vs Xeon E3-1220 v5 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon Gold 6226R is faster than the Xeon E3-1220 v5. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E3-1220 v5 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon Gold 6226R has significantly more cores than the Xeon E3-1220 v5. Indeed, the Xeon Gold 6226R has 16 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Xeon E3-1220 v5. It also has more threads than the Xeon E3-1220 v5. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E3-1220 v5 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon Gold 6226R. Despite this, the Xeon Gold 6226R has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Xeon E3-1220 v5 outputs less heat than Xeon Gold 6226R thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Xeon Gold 6226R has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
