Intel Xeon Silver 4110 vs Intel Xeon E3-1270 v6

Xeon Silver 4110 vs Xeon E3-1270 v6 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E3-1270 v6 performs better than the Xeon Silver 4110. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon Silver 4110 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon Silver 4110 has significantly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Xeon E3-1270 v6 that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Xeon E3-1270 v6. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E3-1270 v6 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon Silver 4110. Also, the Xeon E3-1270 v6 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Xeon E3-1270 v6 outputs less heat than Xeon Silver 4110 thanks to a slightly 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 Silver 4110 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
